What do your Fridays look like?
"Since I live in Portugal I feel Fridays even more, and even though it's a work day for me I try to work only half a day. It's very important to me to call my grandmothers and wish them Shabbat Shalom. In the past I used to come with the whole family to grandmothers for dinner. "Kiddush in the family. Today I am the one who prepares this meal. Recently I started baking challah and cooking traditional dishes like Marduma, the Tripolitans' cuisine, which is delicious in levels. By the way, while cooking I make video calls with the house."
What happens when evening comes?
"At Friday dinner I am with friends, Israelis of course, some of them embassy workers. We eat traditional foods like mafrom, but the truth is that the food will never be as delicious as the parents 'and grandmothers' food, although there is an improvement trend. After dinner we go out or stay home "For the week that has been. This is the only evening the day after that I do not work. Saturday is a day of rest for me."
How do you spend the Sabbath?
"I get up around 10. On Saturday I do not do sports, unless I did not train at all during the week and then maybe I will atone for it. If the weather is nice, I go out with friends to travel to other cities in Portugal, or jump to the beach. Portugal is stunning. By the way, "Everyone's rest day here is of course Sunday, and it's really nice. All the shops and malls are open, and sometimes there are things I have to do in front of Israel, so it's not exactly a day off."
Who would you like to invite to your Shabbat table?
"The late Rona Ramon.
I met her at a festival in London where we gave lectures, but I did not really get to talk to her.
My mother was also present at the meeting, and we were both amazed at how amazing Rona was.
I would like to hear more from her and learn about her psychic powers, and I wish I could do that. "
At the height of the omicron, do you have a reinforcing message for the weekend?
"The Corona period is on the one hand embracing, because we are more at home and with the families 'thanks' to the isolations, but also causes distance from others. When there is difficulty and we do not know what the solution is, it is stressful. First of all, "From what there is. The belief that even if the solution is unknown, it will come in handy, has helped me a lot throughout my judo career."
