Uri Zohar
Uri Zohar was a prominent Israeli film director, actor, and comedian who later became an Orthodox rabbi. Born in Tel Aviv, he began his career in the entertainment industry in the 1950s, gaining fame for his work in Israeli cinema and television. Zohar directed and starred in several influential films, including Hole in the Moon (1964), Three Days and a Child (1967), and Big Eyes (1974). His films often explored social issues and the complexities of Israeli society. In the late 1970s, Zohar experienced a significant personal transformation, embracing Orthodox Judaism and leaving the entertainment industry to become a rabbi. He dedicated the latter part of his life to religious study and community work, becoming a prominent figure in the Orthodox Jewish community. Zohar passed away in Jerusalem at the age of 86.
