  • Terza Cohen responded to criticism of her Western Wall outfit by joking with a comedian.
  • Her revealing attire at the holy site sparked online backlash.

  • Comedian Liel Eli satirized Cohen's outfit on Instagram.
  • Cohen's response suggests a strategy of defusing controversy with humor.

Reality television personality Terza Cohen has broken her silence following a public outcry over her revealing attire at the Western Wall. Cohen, accompanied by her boyfriend Doron Leidner, a player for Hapoel Tel Aviv, visited the holy site for Selichot prayers during the month of Elul. Her choice of a short jacket exposing her midriff sparked widespread criticism online, with many accusing her of disrespecting the sacred location. Some commenters noted that Cohen's family owns an apartment in the Old City, implying she should be familiar with the area's dress code.

Comedienne and social media star Liel Eli humorously addressed the controversy by posting a photo on Instagram mimicking Cohen's outfit. This act was widely interpreted as a subtle jab at Cohen's fashion choice.

While Cohen had remained officially silent on the modesty debate, she surprisingly engaged with Eli's post. Instead of addressing the criticism directly, Cohen responded to Eli's imitation by asking where she got the outfit. Eli replied by offering to send links privately. This interaction suggests Cohen chose to diffuse the situation by joining in on the joke, a strategy that appears to have calmed the online storm.
