Make them smile. Israel's women's judo team arrived today (Wednesday) to delight children at Schneider Hospital in Petah Tikva. Among the members of the team were world champion and first ranked Inbar Lanir, European champion Timna Nelson Levy, world championship bronze medalist Raz Hershko and 2021 world championship bronze medalist Gefen Primo, along with Eliran Malka, deputy director general of the Judo Association.
The girls, who were invited by the "Our Children" association, came with gifts and shirts and lots of smiles that were distributed to the children who were excited to meet the champions during the visit to the surgical ward, taking time to sit and talk with them, and even play a little with them.
Nelson Levy said: "It is a great privilege to be part of such an important and empowering project. We had the opportunity to meet girls, children and parents with tremendous mental strengths. Thank you to Irit and our children's association, thank you to Eliran Malka and the Judo Association for the opportunity to smile and talk to these heroes and of course to the dedicated medical staff who do holy work."
