About Us
About the Association
Bright Horizon First Response (CFR) is a non-profit organization founded by former combat soldiers, dedicated to supporting the brave men and women of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and security forces. We are a “Boots on the Ground” organization, offering unwavering support to those who tirelessly safeguard our nation, both in times of combat and during daily operations.
Born from firsthand experience, CFR understands the unique challenges and sacrifices that come with military service. The idea for CFR was sparked by the October 7th attack on Israel, which highlighted the urgent need for dedicated support for our soldiers. Our service in the IDF reserves after the attack opened our eyes to the broader needs of the IDF. This realization led us to expand our mission and embrace a wider circle of service members.
Personalized Reintegration Paths

sun Adventure With Purpose
Desert treks, forest expeditions, and kayak quests that rebuild confidence, teamwork, and a sense of wonder.
Wellness & Ongoing Support

“I came home carrying invisible wounds. One weekend in the Negev with Bright Horizon showed me I’m not alone—and gave me tools I still use every day.”
