Sword of Iron Israel Volunteering

Let us know what you think of each episode when you have had a listen #dogood


In this heartwarming and often hilarious episode, we’re joined by Sam Cox, an occupational therapist whose deep connection to Israel began 35 years ago with a six-month trip that quickly turned into a year. Now, decades later and in the wake of war, Sam has returned to her “Happy Place” to volunteer once again—and she’s about to embark on her third mission.

Sam shares stories filled with humour, heart, and healing—from sleeping in crowded dorms to unexpected police van rides. With every experience, her love for Israel and for the power of volunteerism only grows stronger. Combining her OT skills with boundless compassion and a great sense of humour, Sam offers comfort not just to people—but to the land itself.
