The celebrity couple shared their emotional experience of visiting the holy site, describing it as a moment of connection "like a magnet" amidst the bustling city.

Their visit was prompted by an invitation from a close friend. During their time at the Ohel, they learned about the custom of writing a letter, reading it at the Rebbe's tomb, and then tearing it. They received advice to first write a letter of thanks to the Rebbe before submitting their requests.

The television presenter and Bar the television presenter prayed for their own health, for wounded and sick soldiers, and for better days for Israel, expressing a desire for unity and a better future for the country. Singer Oshir Cohen and his wife Eden Pines also brought a Torah scroll to the Ohel in honor of soldiers.

The couple has a long-standing connection to Jewish tradition. The television presenter regularly puts on tefillin daily and attends synagogue with his children on Saturdays. Six years ago, they celebrated their elder son's bar mitzvah at the Western Wall. The television presenter has previously visited the tombs of Rachel's Mother and Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, accompanied by Rabbi Mordechai Hassidim, and participated in Selichot prayers at the Western Wall.
