Israeli commentator Guy Maroz, a panelist on Channel 14's "The Patriots," recently participated in a ceremony to write a letter in a Torah scroll. This event follows his earlier spiritual milestones, including donning tefillin and affixing a mezuzah for the first time in his life. Maroz humorously remarked on his transformation since joining Channel 14, stating, "A year and a half at Channel 14, I put on tefillin for the first time in my life and now I'm writing a letter in a Torah scroll. I must stop this spiritual decline!"
The Torah scroll in which Maroz wrote a letter was dedicated to the souls of those murdered in the October 7th Hamas attacks. During the ceremony, Maroz, alongside a scribe, inquired about the permissibility of extending his hand during the writing process, to which he received a definitive "no."
Following the event, Maroz shared a video on social media, eliciting warm responses from online followers who offered encouragement, with comments like "Well done. You've progressed forward," and "Blessed are you!"
Previously, Maroz had shared his experience of putting on tefillin for the first time during the filming of a new program with Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir in Hebron. He had also affixed a mezuzah to the doorpost of his new home, marking another first in his life. A viral video showed Maroz improvising a head covering with a bicycle helmet during one of these occasions, explaining with a smile that it was the only kippah he could find.
