Yehuda Levi Discusses New Role and Fatherhood

Israeli actor Yehuda Levi is reflecting on his new role as a father, describing it as the greatest love of his life. He and his partner, actress and singer Dana Frider, welcomed their daughter, Naya Dafni, in March. Levi learned he was expecting a daughter while filming the new drama series "Ha'Bricha" (The Escape) in South America, a project he describes as being based on several stories about cults and psychological manipulation, with his character being a former security service official with a painful personal history.

Levi, who is also known for hosting reality shows and appearing in commercials, stated that fatherhood has brought him face-to-face with himself, acting as a strong mirror. He finds his daughter's ability to detect authenticity remarkable, feeling as though she sees into his soul. He shared that he has a lot of time to spend with Naya now, emphasizing that this is what interests him most.

"Ha'Bricha" is set to premiere soon on Keshet 12. Levi noted that his daughter, Naya, recognizes him, even though she was not yet born during the filming of the series. He expressed his deep love for his daughter, calling it unconditional and a source of immense happiness, recommending the experience of parenthood to everyone.
