THE 8 PROJECT

Rehabilitating Soldiers and Trauma Survivors Through Art.
Support Our Current Campaign Learn More About The Project

The 8 Project was founded by artist Tomer Peretz in the aftermath of October 7 to create a structured path of healing for Israeli soldiers coping with PTSD. It operates as a therapeutic residency program where participants engage in daily creative practice alongside artist-mentors and mental health professionals to rebuild stability and purpose.

Operating across Los Angeles and New York, the organization connects personal recovery with Jewish communal engagement through its artist residency program, public community workshops, and art exhibitions - creating an ecosystem where healing and artistic excellence move together.
