ZDVF - Beit Halochem

The Zahal Disabled Veterans Fund (ZDVF) is a registered non-profit organization, established in the wake of the War of Independence (1949), with the purpose of providing the 6,000 disabled veterans from this war with all their needs towards the long process of their rehabilitation. It is the only organization legally responsible for representing those veterans wounded and disabled while serving in defense of the State of Israel.
The 50,000 members wounded and disabled while fighting in defense of the State of Israel are only part of the heavy price our young nation has had to pay for its independence and survival. Following the intensive ongoing combat and counterterrorist activity carried out daily to safeguard Israel’s several hundred new members join the ranks of the organization annually. In addition, civilian victims of terror who have remained severely disabled are able to become full members of the four Beit Halochem centers.
