Our Story
Hi, I’m Eitan! Originally from South Africa, I made the big move to Israel in 2022 and now study at Reichman University in Herzliya.
The idea for Shemesh came to me as I noticed a troubling trend among my peers—many were paying outrageous prices for therapy ($250+), while others avoided seeking help entirely, either because they couldn’t afford it or didn’t believe it was worth the cost.
​
Knowing the exceptional reputation of South African mental health professionals, I saw an opportunity to bridge the gap. Six months later, Shemesh is making a difference: Olim are feeling more at home, international students are managing stress more effectively, and lone soldiers are sleep better at night—literally.
