Jerusalem & Herzliya Comunity Clinics
The community clinics in Jerusalem and Herzliya offer supportive complementary treatments for a nominal fee. These treatments are available for up to five years for both cancer patients and their family members. The support center also provides supportive care for individuals who have experienced the loss of a family member to cancer, for a duration of one year.
The therapeutic goal of our community clinics is to provide long-term continuity of care through a wide range of modalities: various touch therapies, community Chinese and Japanese acupuncture, emotional therapy, and support groups. Guided by the principle of "Caring for the Caregiver," we ensure that those supporting the patient also receive care and have access to an organized, consistent system of complementary medicine. Together, these elements create a warm home and a supportive community.
The clinics offer treatments in the following fields:
- Touch Therapies: Reflexology, Massage, Thai Massage, Shiatsu, Craniosacral Therapy, Reiki, Breema, and more.
- Rehabilitative Treatments: Feldenkrais, Community Japanese Acupuncture, and Community Chinese Acupuncture.
- Body-Mind Therapies: Psychotherapy, NLP, and Holistic Pulsing (Otzmat HaRachat).
Treatments at the clinics last approximately 40–45 minutes and are provided for a nominal fee (ranging from 100–180 NIS, depending on the type of treatment and the therapist).

The Yuri Shtern Holistic Center – At the frontline of Care for Those Coping with National Trauma
At the onset of the "Iron Swords" war in October 2023, the Yuri Shtern Center mobilized its dedicated volunteers to support those affected by the war. Utilizing its extensive experience, the Center provided various touch therapies to evacuees, soldiers, the wounded, and those who personally endured the events of October 7th—helping them manage symptoms resulting from the trauma they experienced.
Since then, the Center has conducted over 4,000 specialized treatments through various projects adapted to the needs of the hour. These included the "Helping Hands" clinic for Displaced residance in Jerusalem and Herzliya; the "Recovery Gate" clinic, which operated in Sderot for nine months; and specialized treatment days for those affected by the Iranian missile attacks during Operation "Israel - Iran Twelve-Day War" among others.
As of today (April 2026), the Yuri Shtern Holistic Center continues to provide critical responses through two major national trauma projects: The Holistic Mobile in Memory of Amit Man and a Touch Therapy Project for reservists, security personnel, and their families, operating within the silver Resilience Center at the Shaare Zedek Medical Center.
The Holistic Mobile in Memory of Amit Man
This mobile project brings touch therapists directly to towns and communities suffering from national trauma as a result of the war. We provide series of treatments (typically 4–6 sessions per community). The unit consists of a large vehicle that transports 7–8 therapists and all necessary equipment to various locations across the country, setting up a treatment complex that provides 35–40 touch therapy sessions per day.
The project is dedicated to the memory of the late Amit Man, a heroic paramedic who sacrificed her life on October 7th while treating numerous wounded individuals in the improvised clinic at Kibbutz Be’eri. Her devotion and unwavering commitment to helping her patients under any circumstances serve as a guiding light for this project and our mission as a whole.
Contact Information: For more information about the mobile unit’s activities or to coordinate treatments for communities, please contact the project coordinator, Yuval Shlomo, at 054-4467940.

Touch Therapy for Reservists, Security Personnel, and Their Families – In Collaboration with the Silber Resilience Center at Shaare Zedek Medical Center
The Silber Resilience Center is a first-of-its-kind facility providing mental health support through tools such as psychotherapy, art therapy, yoga therapy, psychiatry, and more. It serves reservists, security forces, and their families, providing essential tools to cope with the impact of military service on civilian life. The Yuri Shtern Holistic Center has partnered with the Silber Center to add a complementary layer of body-based touch therapy. These treatments are held at our community clinic on Emek Refaim St. in Jerusalem, and in certain cases, at the Shaare Zedek Medical Center itself.
Treatments are provided to patients referred by the Silber Center staff and are integrated into a comprehensive therapeutic process. The goal is to facilitate nervous system regulation, reduce physical tension, and create a space for relaxation and reflection. The extensive experience of the Yuri Shtern Center volunteers shows that working through the body - using tailored, attentive, and professional touch - offers a gentle, non-verbal approach to managing emotional overload. This supports the process of building resilience and the ability to return to balanced functioning.
