Reality television personality Terza Cohen and her partner, Hapoel Tel Aviv player Doron Leidner, visited the Western Wall on Tuesday evening to participate in the traditional Selichot prayers ahead of the Jewish month of Elul. The visit, however, drew sharp criticism online due to Cohen's choice of clothing: a short jacket that exposed her midriff.
Social media users flooded the couple's post with angry comments, accusing Cohen of disrespecting the holy site. "I don't understand the point of the jacket?! As if you thought if the top is closed, then the bottom can be revealing and it will be considered not exposed?!" one user wrote. Others echoed the sentiment, stating, "You're in a holy place, at least respect it and come dressed modestly." Some commenters noted that Cohen's family owns an apartment in the Old City, where she previously lived, implying she should be familiar with the area's dress code.
Despite the backlash, some users focused on the couple's relationship or the upcoming football derby between Hapoel Tel Aviv and Maccabi Tel Aviv. One fan humorously commented, "As long as he brings the derby win, despite the crop top."
