Release Trip Program
An inspirational journey of resilience for wounded veterans

The Release Trip Program
A ‘release trip’ (‘רורחש לויט’) organized by the Friends Association of the IDF Disabled Veterans Organization is a unique rehabilitative journey designed for Israeli soldiers wounded in the line of duty. The program gives these veterans the chance to experience the classic Israeli post-army backpacking adventure — often to destinations like the Himalayas or India — which is an important rite of passage for many young Israelis.
