A big question mark hovered over Static's meaningless post on Instagram • A day later he reveals: "The topic that hurts me the most and is hard on me in the world has been exposed underground"
The reason why Static uploaded a black profile picture to his Instagram page is revealed:
The star's Judaism was questioned due to his being adopted.
Those of you who follow on social media the successful rapper and singer Static (Liraz Russo), may have noticed that yesterday (Sunday) he scattered on his Instagram account hints that something unpleasant is happening in his life and causing him a storm of emotions.
He uploaded a picture of a black background, without words, a similar story in black, replaced his profile picture with a black background and uploaded another story in which he wrote briefly: "Now I was told something that shakes life itself. I very much hope it's a mistake of the moment. Mess".
Many asked themselves what was behind the move in question, and there were also those who thought it was a breakup of Static and Ben-El, members of the successful duo.
Static's executives declined to say what it was, but made it clear that it was probably Static's personal matter.

Today (Monday) he chose to reveal the matter himself - when he posted a picture of his Star of David on his Instagram page, and thus he wrote: "Do you see this Star of David? This is the jewel that I always wear. When I take off all the jewelry you see, I do not take it off. And that's since I got it, at the end of twelfth grade from my mom.
I remember how we entered a store in the Haifa mall together and purchased it.
My brother also has one from the end of his twelfth, you know - a kind of tradition ".
"It's very important to me because it's from Mom and because of what it symbolizes," Static explained.
"I grew up very close to religion. Yom Kippur in a synagogue, all the holidays, I went up to the Torah at a bar mitzvah, and kiddush we do together to this day. Well, maybe the corona ruined it a bit, but you get the point. Everything is normal so far."
It seems that in the run-up to his wedding, Static faced a certain difficulty regarding his Jewish identity, apparently in front of the rabbinate.
"Yesterday I heard words I had never heard in my life," he writes, "for the first time, the subject that hurts me the most and is hardest for me in the world is exposed underground, deep deep, where I buried it in my heart. A subject so sensitive and painful "True, the adoption. Suddenly we will be personal before the wedding. Suddenly this Judaism of mine, my identity, was in doubt."

See this Star of David? This is the jewel that is always on me. When I take off all the jewelry you see, I do not take it off. And that's since I got it, at the end of twelfth grade from my mom. I remember how we entered a store in the Haifa mall together and purchased it. My brother also has one from his twelfth graduation, you know - a kind of tradition. It's very important to me because it's from mom and because of what it symbolizes. I grew up very close to religion. Yom Kippur in a synagogue, all the holidays, I ascended to the Torah at a bar mitzvah, and Kiddush we do together to this day. Well, maybe the corona ruined it a bit, but you got it. Everything is normal so far. Yesterday I heard words I had never heard in my life, for the first time, the subject that hurts me the most and is hardest for me in the world was revealed underground deep deep where I buried it in my heart. A subject so sensitive and painful that I am already indifferent to it from the outside as a defense system. Yes, right, the adoption. Suddenly we become personal for the wedding. Suddenly this Judaism of mine, my identity, was in doubt. You do not understand how humiliating and painful it is to know that maybe everything you grew up on is not true. Maybe all you know is an illusion. I saw black. I saw so black I did not care about anything anymore. Luckily, thanks to the mostly multiple efforts of my principals, truly archeological digs, I got my breath back. My soul is back. Officially, a Jew for everything. If ever in my life I was close to a heart attack - this was the time. Thanks to everyone who cared for me, I could not answer or share the shame, the pain. A new date will be set for the wedding. Life will go on as usual. Luckily, I'm the same I thought I was. The same I know you.

"You do not understand how humiliating and painful it is to know that maybe everything you grew up on is not true. Maybe everything you know is an illusion. I saw black. I saw so black that I cared nothing more. Luckily, thanks to the multiple efforts mostly of my managers, excavations "Archaeologies really, my breath is back. My soul is back. Officially, a Jew for everything."
Static seals: "If ever I was close to a heart attack in my life - it was this time. Thank you to everyone who cared for me, I could not answer or share the shame, the pain. A new date will be set for the wedding. Life will go on as usual. I am the one you know. "
Of course, the post immediately received many encouraging responses, including the response from the friend to the Ben-El duo, who wrote: "Always with you, no matter what! Always behind you."
