In Shuli Rand’s new series “Stop a moment”, the singer and actor sits down with selected artists, including Kobi Afalo and Shlomi Shabat, and talks with them about Judaism, faith and career. Today (Sunday) he sat down for a conversation with actor Aviv Elosh about repentance, parenting and expectations as a father.
Elosh was asked if he expected his children to continue on his path. “The expectation, I’m sure she sleeps, the desire to yearn, the prayer, all the prayers that they will follow the right path, in my prayer I always ask God to always light the way for them,” replied the singer.
Later everything was for the better and I thank him for that
About the process of repentance, Elosh said that it all started from his longing as a child. “I come from a traditional home, we go to sit with the chamin,” Alosh admitted, “It’s like you don’t light a fire, but that’s how I grew up and I always had a longing. At the age of 6, I would go to the synagogue with my neighbors.”
“My father started to repent, he came back with lights, when I was 13, at a bar mitzvah and then he was very strict with me, suddenly we don’t travel on Shabbat. Later everything was for the better and I thank him for that. But it’s an unhealthy movement so I try to bring the children to a different mindset “.
I would like for the children to always be happy with what they have
When asked if he is capable of being angry with his children, Aviv Elosh replied that it is not possible to be angry with a child. “I can’t. I can be disappointed but hate your child, I don’t know if such a thing is possible. There could be extreme situations,” Alous answered.
Rand asked Alosh what his fear was as a father. “My biggest fear as a father is that God forbid something happens to my children, that’s the biggest fear,” answered the singer, “I would like for the children to always be happy with what they have. A happy childhood.” Finally, Rand asked Allosh about his fix as a parent. “To correct myself. The children mirror your lessons to us 24/7”.
