On November 7, 1902, the country's first sobering center was opened in Tula. In pre-revolutionary Russia, these institutions were called "drunken asylums" and were located in merchants' houses. In the Soviet Union, songs were written and films were made about "symbols of shame". Today there are less than 60 sobriety centers left in Israel. In our video we tell their story.
