“We extend our heartfelt condolences to the president and to all his family. May her memory be a blessing,” he said.

Rivlin was born in Moshav Herut, an agricultural community in today’s central Israel.

In 1971, she married Reuven Rivlin and the couple lived in Jerusalem.

Rivlin had a BSc in Botany and Zoology. As the first lady, she focused her activities on the environment, nature and art, as well as children with special needs.
