A delegation of 10 injured Israeli soldiers, between the ages of 22 and 35 and all members of the Israeli-American solidarity group Brothers for Life, spent nine days in the Bay Area living with local host families, mingling with the Jewish community and participating in group therapy sessions. On their last day, Nov. 6, they shared their stories with injured U.S. veterans in Palo Alto. Brothers for Life is a 700-member organization that provides health and career support services for wounded soldiers in Israel.
