WIZO knows weddings

In June, the Women’s International Zionist Organization’s brand-new New Jersey chapter — better known as WIZO NJ — held a fashion show at Temple Emanu-el of Closter. Forty volunteers and nearly 40 vendors worked together to offer a presentation of bridal fashions, with nearly 50 models acting the parts of brides, bridesmaids, and flower girls walking down the aisle. After a talk raised awareness of the plight of abused women in the United States and in Israel, the show raised funds for a shelter for battered women in Jerusalem.
