Reality Star Tirtza Cohen Sparks Outrage With Revealing Outfit at Western Wall
Tirtza Cohen, a former contestant on the Israeli reality show "Big Brother," has ignited controversy online after posting photos of herself at the Western Wall with her boyfriend, soccer player Doron Leidner. Cohen attended the Selichot prayers, a period of penitential prayers observed before the High Holidays, wearing a long skirt and a leather jacket that exposed her midriff.
Her attire drew sharp criticism from numerous Instagram followers who deemed it disrespectful to the holy site. Comments included accusations of prioritizing style over modesty and explicit condemnations such as "You don't come to the Western Wall like this, period!!! A little respect, disgusting."
Despite the backlash, Cohen has not yet responded to the criticism and appears unfazed by the online storm. The photos remain on her Instagram account, which has a shared post from her account @tirtza_cohen.
