Dr. Ira Savetsky

Healing Hands

Through Limor Garfinkle’s lens, we honor heroes like Dr. Ira L. Savetsky, a renowned plastic surgeon whose expertise spans some of the most advanced aesthetic and reconstructive procedures in the world. Trained at top medical institutions, including NYU’s Hansjörg Wyss Department of Plastic Surgery and the Dallas Plastic Surgery Institute, he is recognized as a leader in his field. In the wake of Hamas’ October 7th attack, Dr. Savetsky began offering free plastic surgery to victims of antisemitic hate crimes and survivors of terror, helping them heal not only physically but emotionally. With compassion and skill, he transforms pain into resilience, restoring dignity to those who have suffered.

About the Heroes Series

American Friends of Soroka and Photographer Limor Garfinkle present Heroes of Truth: Portraits of Courage celebrating courage and resilience, honoring those who stand in defense of Israel and truth.

Through art, we pay tribute to these heroes and inspire others to stand firm against hatred and injustice. One hundred percent of profits will directly support Soroka’s Department of Psychiatry, offering critical mental health programs for pediatric and adult patients suffering from PTSD, anxiety, and depression. Beyond raising funds, Heroes of Truth aims to inspire action. By showcasing the bravery of those who refuse to stay silent, we send a powerful message: courage and truth will always triumph over silence and oppression.
