Last Friday, Leon Rosenberg came to be a guest at the program studio of Ofira Asaig and Eyal Berkovich in what was supposed to be a male panel.
In practice, Rosenberg revealed hours after the filming of a Facebook post that came up and was removed, he found himself sitting on a panel (in which Itzik Zohar and Avichai Ohana also took part) that was more ridiculous and laughable about Rosenberg and his relationship with his wife Paula, and much less male and bride.
• "Ofira and Berkowitz": A man who ignores such an interview
• Keshet 12 talent against Ofira and Barko
"I came out innocent again," Rosenberg opened the post he posted to Facebook last Friday.
"I was invited to Ofira and Barco to participate in a panel on men in 2020. I intended to talk about the challenges an average Israeli man experienced in the Corona crisis, the great uncertainty, the concerns following the economic crisis, and the difficulty of working from home," he said.
"I wanted to tell how a circle of men (like the one I lead with Ohad Levy and like the one I attend from time to time), can be a great place for any man to come and face the challenges, find out he's not alone, and return home strengthened to family. That's what I wanted to say. "In practice on the show, I found myself in front of Berkowitz and Itzik Zohar's double team, who slapped me as a weak and submissive man, while Ofira was torn from laughter in the background in a loud conversation that I had no chance of ending a trial," he wrote.
The aforementioned post was quickly removed, but managed to provoke quite a stir on the net over the weekend, which included quite a few angry reactions against the show and its presenters.
Today (Sunday), the woman who has been with Rosenberg for 14 years, Paula, who posted a post on Instagram and her Facebook, where she revealed details about her and Leon's relationship, was also needed for the issue.
For the past three years I have received one of the greatest gifts of my life, one I never expected: I have received an evolving and changing spouse.
When I connected to ...

"For the past three years I have received a gift I did not expect at all: I have received a developing and changing spouse," Rosenberg opened the post.
"When I met Leon, we fell madly in love, we discovered the magic of togetherness and later we were exposed to the challenges of a long relationship, each coming with his own old wound box," she revealed and went on to describe the difficulties they experience as a couple and how they learned to deal with them.
"We've been in couple therapy for a long time, and there are still issues that recur as quarrelsome, as with any couple. There are behaviors that I believed would never change because 'that's how men are.' I imagine there are women who read and identify a little. I personally gave up the possibility of traits. Male stereotypes will change in our relationship, "she wrote, then recounted the move Leon took when he enrolled in men's circle facilitation studies, which was actually why he was invited to the male panel at the studio of Ofira Asaig and Eyal Berkovich, eventually leading to a post that sparked the storm.
"Then Leon enrolled in men's facilitation studies at Tel Aviv University and then began guiding men's circles, and surprising moments began to emerge in our relationship that I never even expected to happen. I'm not really a glitter woman and I'm going to say the relationship changed at once and suddenly everything's great. A turnaround that reduces the volatile and strenuous process of change to a superficial message of “once was bad and now everything is perfect”), Paula exposed the bumps that come with the process.
"What's up anyway? For the past three years, Leon has been approaching me (and himself) in a new way, each time more. Our ability to develop a deep discourse without reaching an explosion, even when we are full of pain and anger has greatly improved, we communicate gaps without attack and without closure (for the most part) From time), we are more able to listen to each other without defending.This is so significant this change in mid-life.
"As time goes on, the classic complaints about the male discourse of 'What do you want from me?', 'I do not understand what's wrong', 'Give me some quiet', are less relevant to our relationship (but sometimes still yes! Sometimes it's still insanely annoying Ask my friends.) The change allows me to learn through Leon the helplessness he and other men experience and how healing happens when men learn to give each other support and listening, not just talk about work and football and fitness and real estate and drinks.
"My girlfriends whose spouses participate in Leon and Ohad's men's circles tell of similar experiences, how surprised they are by the depth of the change, that they suddenly discover new feelings in the partner next to whom they have lived for many years. It's really crazy. I believe with all my heart that the solution The problems (not just the relationship) lie in people.Like everything.Small men are haunted by their insecurities and more brave and connected to their vulnerability, only then will change happen.It can not happen without men learning not to be afraid of their feelings.Soon Leon and Ohad open a circle More men, "she updated at the end of the post, calming down with a picture of the two from their wedding day, concluding with the message:" Two young people who have promised to be there for each other and are still trying their best. "
Most surfers were very attached to the post, and the responses were positive accordingly: "Charming. Men must learn to talk about their feelings. It's part of the big change in the modern world, as we women understand we have to go out and earn a living and have capabilities that do not end with folding laundry. Thank you for sharing." , And others added: "Charming, we must put the ego aside and we definitely have the solutions. Paula, you are amazing together with Leon, an amazing couple", and "you wrote a very moving, real and touching story. I was so annoyed by the low discourse and ridicule of the clown duo Mostly themselves. How low you can go. Just a disgrace of a program that has long since lost it. There is a lot of quality content that can be put in their place. And you are Paula and Leon a dear couple who are not afraid to expose their pains and difficulties bravely straighten up !!! ".
