Ron Kaufman, who for a long time hosted the 103FM radio show alongside Einstein, recalled and recounted the long-standing friendship: "Meir also went through the stage of adapting to the new media. It took him a while, in some things he was still conservative, but he adapted slowly, He untied the tie. "



"Meir was basically a very shy person, he was also a person who died ashamed, even in his illness he was not hospitalized for an hour, he was afraid that people would know and see him in his weakness and illness. He managed the whole illness from his home. "Spending time, appreciating wine and realizing it, he also liked to drink."

Listen to Kaufman's remarks

"I miss the moments of getting into it, the fights with him. He was always sitting and laughing when there were a lot of people," Kaufman shared. The viewer. "



At the end of the moving and sad conversation, Kaufman revealed a part that Meir hid from the spotlight: "Einstein spent a long time in a seamanship course, he was fired at a very advanced stage. After that he told me he decided that what he wanted to do was communication and sports. "He wrote from there. Meir was first and foremost a journalist. He had a voice signature, but he transmitted knowledge."

An unforgettable voice.

Sivan Einstein, Meir's daughter, also went on the air for a full five years after her father's death: "It suddenly threw me back to hear Dad's voice, it was exciting. I was always told it gets easier with time, but it's not. It's all the time. "Accompany me, knowing that I live in my father's city in London. I have a six-year-old boy whom my father got to know until he was a year old. I tell him that the name Einstein is very important and that he should be taken care of."



"I think one of my big challenges is to make sure the child learns Hebrew so that he can listen to all the broadcasts and what Dad left behind, so that he understands how big he was in sports in general. I start to show him things, I do not think he fully understands, but I try." .

Of Einstein she knew pain Sivan said sadly and longingly: "I think Dad's public figure is not necessarily private, know he was a very closed and private person. He was very family and always very interested in us. Many fans also appreciate what Dad brought to his broadcasts, There is not much that brings the passion and knowledge he brings, he was in the game, it was the most important thing to him, he was professional. It always warms the heart to hear. I would accompany him to all the games, and I think those were our special moments together, I would see him in greatness On the field, these are always my and his private moments that are good that will stay with me. "

Oded Makhanes tells about the argument he had with Einstein

Oded Makhanes, who interprets many games alongside Einstein, said: "Sometimes I watch old games just to hear Meir's voice. Every time it hurts me to just think about how time ran. Meir was strong, excited every time we heard him broadcast. Whoever broadcast with "Meir knows that he is always right, it will not help anything. To prove that he is right he should speak loudly and sometimes not even allow the commentator to go into his words, but it was Meir, we loved him and I had great experiences with him."



"I had an argument with him on the broadcast in Ramat Hasharon," said Makhanes. "They had a game against Bnei Yehuda. "To score alone without success. The whole argument was whether he should deliver or not, I told him that even if he thought he was right, I would go down with him at the end to the lawn and I would show you what needed to be done."

Listen to the words of Yoav Aviv

Oriented to a number of different industries.

Yoav Aviv, who broadcast alongside Einstein on "B Network", said: "Our relationship went off the radio, we became good personal friends. He was matter-of-fact and direct, he had no celeb assumptions. Meir was not strong in showing warmth to the outside world, but "I knew that when we talk to each other, he understands what we are talking about. He was a teacher and a rabbi in many things."



"Meir would determine in his broadcasts what he was going to talk about and how he would talk. He was not afraid of competition. I think his greatness as a journalist and as a sports broadcaster he demonstrated at the opening ceremony of the Maccabiah when the bridge collapsed. "The disaster came out of the ceremony and he protested live that they were continuing. He said it was jarring and painful, those are not words he says easily."

Dr. Gilad Weingarten on athletics broadcasts with Einstein

Apart from football broadcasts, Einstein was also known as an athletics broadcaster.

Dr. Gilad Weingarten recounted the many broadcasts at the Olympics and World Championships alongside Einstein: “When we started together in the 1991 World Championships in Tokyo, Einstein was an absolute novice in athletics.

What stuck him to athletics was the more scientific part, which I emphasized a lot in the broadcasts.

He liked jumping and running, less the field professions.

He asked 'What mother sends her daughter to hammer or throw an iron ball?'.

It was sublime in his understanding, he probably thought of his daughters.



"" He would tell me he broadcasts football and basketball, but most of all he loves athletics - the personal efforts, that everyone has to prove what he knows.

I will always remember the broadcast to the world record of Usain Bolt at the World Championships in Berlin with his incredible enthusiasm.

"To this day, I pass by the bus stop where I would pick it up. I look where Meir is."
