In Modi'in Illit, the new and luxurious offices of the accounting firm BDO were inaugurated last night (Sunday), which employs dozens of Haredi women in Modi'in Illit alone - and hundreds of Haredi women throughout the country.
The BDO firm is one of the leading firms in Israel, and its Haredi branch has been considered a very important employer of Haredi women for many years.
The renovated branch in the Modi'in Illit business center, managed by CPA Farah Greenberg, joins the luxurious office that was inaugurated several years ago in Bnei Brak, and is a symbol and example of the ability to integrate Haredi women into the top ranks of Israeli employment, with adequate pay and maximum conditions - all while strictly adhering to the rules of halakhah and lifestyle.
