The WIZO (Women’s International Zionist Organisation) Forum on 15 August dealt with the challenges of being part of the sandwich generation.

This is the generation of people, typically in their thirties or forties, who are responsible for bringing up their own children and taking care of their ageing parents.
Former WIZO chairperson Janice Leibowitz described the challenges she continues to face as the filling in the sandwich. Forum guest Tova Goldstein reminded us that life is not all good or all bad, we need to reframe our thoughts, and listen to our inner voice.
