Danny Niv, known as Muki, shared an exciting photo of himself on Facebook with his followers. The picture shows Muki with his son, Xia, with tefillin on his son’s ascension to the Torah. Muki wrote: “Blessed are we who have been freed from this punishment. I was privileged today to bring up to the Torah my magic child, Xia, Shi-Ya, our gift from God. We were excited and happy and drank some wine in the morning and candies in the air. Love you my prince And great pride for your parents who are torn about you. “
A few years ago, an ultra-Orthodox singer who came to compete in the reality show of network 13 “The Four” did not agree to look at judges Marina Maximilian and Dikla and when the other singers sang, he closed his ears. Following the incident, Muki (Danny Niv) who also serves as a judge on the show left the table.
Muki told the contestant about his family history – the grandson of a great-grandfather who was a great rabbi and was destroyed with most of his family members in the Holocaust. For being educated in his home about the values of Jewish culture and the great respect he and his family have for the Jewish tradition. Then he added: “Just as we respect and do not travel on Shabbat in Mea Shearim so you have to respect us, them, the place you came to – on the stage of the Four – on this stage women sing their art and everyone including everyone listens to them.” At the end of his speech, as mentioned, Muki got up and left the judges’ table.
