The Israeli branch of global law firm DLA Piper held several community events last week in honor of Purim to support and bring holiday joy to those who need it most during the holidays, the firm announced.
Members of the law firm visited the Shamir Medical Center and partnered with the "Simcha Layeled" organization, which is dedicated to improving the quality of life for thousands of disabled and seriously ill children in hospitals and rehabilitation centers throughout Israel.
They brought games, face and body paint, costumes, arts and crafts, and food, hosting a Purim party for the children.
DLA Piper Israel also hosted a special event at their new offices, where participants packaged 350 Purim baskets for wounded soldiers at the Sheba Medical Center.
The baskets will be distributed to soldiers who served in Gaza and displaced children from northern Israel.
