The story · English

Channel 13 reporter Michael Shemesh celebrated his 30th birthday with a prayer at the Western Wall, marking the milestone with a reflective social media post. Shemesh shared his thoughts on the past decade, noting significant personal and professional turning points. He humorously observed the transition from being carded for alcohol purchases to facing different online criticisms.

Expressing deep gratitude, Shemesh stated that thankfulness is the most prominent emotion he feels today. He thanked God for his life, his parents for raising him and his 11 siblings, and the many people who have guided him and opened professional doors.

Shemesh concluded by acknowledging his immediate family, describing them as his "oxygen," and wished everyone happy, good, and quiet days, emphasizing the abundance of good in the world. The post was accompanied by a photo of Shemesh at the Western Wall.
