Haim Levinson was the chair next to Ofira Assig in the program called "Ofira and Barko" until last summer. Levinson starred almost simultaneously on the cover of the Haaretz supplement, with what at least appeared to be the biggest journalistic investigation of the year.

Despite the difference between Essig's and Levinson's personal paths, it seems that something unites them: an "underdog" spark that is evident in almost every sentence of theirs. Even those whose style of Essig is not their cup of tea cannot deny her unapologetic ardor, nouveau riche.
