President Isaac Herzog made an unannounced appearance at a Jerusalem Purim party for children with disabilities, where costumes were designed to be inclusive. The event marked the 10th anniversary of an initiative that creates custom Purim costumes for children with disabilities, organized by Beit Issie Shapiro. The children's costumes were designed around their mobility devices, transforming wheelchairs and walkers into rockets, game consoles, and circus tents. The event offered a respite for the children and their families from the challenges of war and disability, highlighting the need for a more accessible and inclusive society.
