Israeli radio host Ophira Assayag shared an anecdote on her 102FM radio show about an unexpected encounter with singer Rotem Cohen at the Ovad restaurant in Kfar Saba. Assayag, who was dining with her children, noticed a long queue and spotted a man in a hat, sunglasses, and hoodie despite the hot weather. Upon realizing it was Cohen, she called out to him. Cohen responded, "Ophira, don't shout." Assayag was impressed that Cohen did not attempt to cut the line or seek special treatment, believing the restaurant owners would have accommodated him if they recognized him. Instead, he opted for takeout because he felt uncomfortable waiting in line. Assayag admitted she had called out loudly, drawing the attention of the entire restaurant. She concluded by praising Cohen, describing him as "huge, humble, sweet," and explaining that he had disguised himself to avoid the attention of waiting in line.
