What made me this year was one casting for one reality show: the casting of Zehava Ben for "Big Brother," which opened the door to an unparalleled comeback.
After many years of loneliness, ignoring the media and absence from the front, Ben returned to prime time of Network 13. Although she was not the tenant who stirred the house, nor did she quarrel as usual in format, but with one heartbreaking monologue, which penetrated every viewer's heart, and Modesty and kindness, she climbed to the finals and from there to victory.
"I got to the point where I forgot the gilding that I was," she told the "Shishvat" supplement in an interview.
"I forgot the big stages on which I performed, I forgot my success. I was golden, simple, ordinary, equal among equals. Anyone who knows me knows that I am a private person. It is difficult for me to be exposed. But I realized that in order for them to listen to me, they need to know me. It happened. I went into the house because I wanted them to know Zehava, my face. They would listen to me, they would know my character, my values. ? "
And it worked for her big time.
In the past year Ben has not stopped working.
Two big campaigns, appearances for workers' committees, and even a festival.
Two weeks ago, she also performed on the same stage with who for years was considered the greatest of the Mediterranean singer, Sarit Hadad, after living for years in the shadow of Hadad.
The girl who grew up in a criminal environment in Be'er Sheva, in a family without means, already got her Cinderella story when she became a great singer.
What was the chance that the fairy would knock on the door a second time?
Faint, but lo and behold, it happened.
After years in the music industry, Ben came to the Caesarea Amphitheater two months ago, for the first time in his career, and filled it for three consecutive evenings.
It was not just another great show in Caesarea, it was an evening where justice moved to the front of the stage.
