BAR/BAT MITZVAH IN<br />
JERUSALEM<br />
As <strong>IDFWO</strong> children begin<br />
their journey into adulthood<br />
as they reach Bar/<br />
Bat Mitzvah age, the<br />
organisation offers them<br />
an annual celebration at<br />
one of Judaism’s holiest<br />
sites: the Western Wall.<br />
While the loss of a parent<br />
is even more pronounced<br />
on such a momentous<br />
occasion, the organisation<br />
works hard to make sure<br />
these children are not<br />
alone. With the help of the<br />
President of Israel, Defence<br />
Minister, Chief of Staff and<br />
other family members,<br />
children are surrounded by<br />
those who love and care<br />
for them the most.<br />
WIDOWS’ RETREAT<br />
The annual retreat<br />
offers a safe haven<br />
for widows who are<br />
able to bond with<br />
other women who<br />
also have suffered loss<br />
and enables them to<br />
recharge their batteries<br />
so they can return to<br />
their children calm,<br />
refreshed and ready to<br />
take on the world.<br />
