Over 2,700 Nova survivors have enrolled in Dr. Salomon's large-scale study. The findings are already shaping how clinicians treat this community. The science isn't just theoretical. It's helping survivors heal. #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth #TraumaResearch

This Mental Health Awareness Month, we're spotlighting @UofHaifa's Dr. Roy Salomon, whose Salomon Lab is tackling a question no one had studied before October 7: how do psychoactive substances affect trauma processing?

As the sun sets over Haifa, wishing you a peaceful Shabbat and a restful weekend.

A campus unlike any other 🤩 Overlooking the Mediterranean, @UofHaifa is more than a place of learning—it’s a beacon of inclusivity, innovation, and social impact, bringing together one of the most diverse student bodies in Israel to tackle the world’s most pressing challenges.

Authored by researcher Yael Avni, alongside Dr. Alexandra Danial-Saad and Prof. Tsvi Kuflik, the paper highlights ways to enhance cultural experiences and ensure greater access for all. Advancing inclusion through innovation.

There is no clean transition from Yom HaZikaron into #YomHaAtzmaut. One moves into the other — from grief into gratitude, from loss into celebration. This year, we're carrying the heaviness with us. And celebrating anyway. Especially now. Happy Independence Day 🇮🇱 #Israel78

On Yom HaZikaron, we mourn Israel's fallen soldiers and the victims of terror — those lost on October 7 and all who have fallen since. May their memory be a blessing 🕯️ #YomHaZikaron #WeRemember

When a missile lands on your campus, everything changes. @UofHaifa's Dean of Students Prof. Batya Engel-Yeger on what it means to lead, support students, and sustain a university community in the midst of war. blogs.timesofisrael.com/when-the-missi… #UniversityOfHaifa #AFUH #Israel

On Yom HaShoah, we pause to remember the 6 million Jews murdered in the Holocaust. As antisemitism rises and Holocaust denial grows, @UofHaifa's work in Holocaust research, education, and preservation has never been more urgent. To remember is to resist. To educate is to honor.

This weekend, #Haifa suffered one of the most devastating strikes of this war. Our hearts are with the families of those lost, and with the entire city. The @UofHaifa's students, faculty, and staff are woven into the fabric of this community. And still — they show up.

The students of the University of Haifa have never stopped moving forward. This Passover, that spirit feels more powerful than ever. Chag Pesach Sameach from American Friends of University of Haifa. 🔗 Stand with our students: afuh.org/donate-to-univ…

This Passover, more than 600 @UofHaifa students are spending the holiday in uniform. Others are sitting down to a Seder without family members still serving. And yet — classes continue. Students keep going.

War doesn't pause for anyone — and neither did they. When patients were evacuated underground, students and staff from @UofHaifa's School of Medicine followed. No hesitation. Just care. This is what medical students looks like in wartime. 💙🇮🇱 #Israel #MedicalStudents
