Tragic Loss: Singer Itzik Kala’s Daughter Maayan Passes Away
Tzur Hadassah mourns the untimely death of Maayan Kala, daughter of renowned singer Itzik Kala. The young girl was laid to rest on Monday evening at the Nes Harim Regional Cemetery, leaving friends, family, and fans devastated.
Producer and creator Shlomi Smuka expressed his deep sorrow over the loss of Maayan. Taking to Facebook, he wrote, “I am speechless. Itzik Kala, my dear friend. I share so much in the heavy sadness of the tragic death of your amazing daughter, Maayan Kala Moalem!!! Until you recovered a bit from a cursed illness and decided to return to the stage, and we closed your show with us. You received a severe blow and lost your precious daughter, Maayan. I am speechless, heartbroken. Itzik and Ziona, my darlings, my heart goes out to you.”
The local council of Tzur Hadassah also expressed their condolences. In an official statement, they said, “Blessed is the truth, we share in the grief of the Kalam and Moalem families, in the passing of the late Maayan. The funeral took place today, Monday, 8th in Hashvan, 10/23/23, at 4:45 p.m., at the Nes Harim Regional Cemetery. Shiva sits at 11 Saipan Street, Tzur Hadassah. Hugging, strengthening, and hoping you will never know any more sorrow.”
Itzik Kala, known for his powerful and emotive performances, took a break from singing for four years due to his battle with cancer of the vocal cords. Only in the last few months, he had made a triumphant return to the stage, delighting fans with his music. This devastating loss comes just 15 years after the singer’s wife narrowly survived a horrific attack. In 2012, she was seriously injured when terrorists threw stones at her car. Doctors had little hope for her recovery and had already delivered the grim news to Itzik Kala.
The local community and fans of Itzik Kala’s music have been offering their support and condolences during this difficult time. The loss of Maayan Kala has left a void in the hearts of many, as they remember a talented young girl whose life was tragically cut short.
Rest in Peace, Maayan. You will be dearly missed.
