MK Naama Lazimi Discusses Hobbies, Spirituality, and Social Issues
Member of Knesset Naama Lazimi, ranked second on the "Democrats" list, was interviewed by journalist Paz Robinson at the "Ha'Ozen Ha'Shlishit" record store in Tel Aviv as part of the "Election Gamers" project. The project features politicians discussing their personal lives and hobbies ahead of the upcoming elections.
Lazimi, who grew up in northern Israel but now lives in Holon, spoke about her long-standing love for vinyl records, which she shares with her partner. "We buy records for each other on birthdays. Records on Friday are our morning fun," she said.
She emphasized the importance of politicians having a "spiritual content world" beyond their political careers, stating, "You need a soul too." Lazimi also addressed a controversial statement by MK Yitzhak Pindrus, who suggested it would be better to "shoot the legs" of MKs, and highlighted her commitment to preventing police harm to demonstrators as a key public agenda item.
Lazimi expressed her support for a "beautiful Judaism" but opposed religious coercion, advocating for individuals to live according to their own lifestyles. She also reflected on her work for social rights, particularly concerning recognition for peripheral areas where she grew up, noting that a public housing law had also benefited the family of MK Michel Buskila. Lazimi also mentioned her dedication to public transportation and shared a peculiar request she received as a Knesset member.
Looking ahead, Lazimi stated her primary aspiration is to ensure a better future for children, leaving them a secure country after having done everything possible.
