Lior Berkovich, son of legendary former footballer and media personality Eyal Berkovich, has shared a deeply personal message he received from a young follower named Amit. Amit, who is nearly 18, wrote to Berkovich detailing the profound grief he has experienced since his younger brother died by suicide 10 months prior. He explained that Berkovich's podcast content has been a significant source of comfort and support during his difficult time, stating it helps him more than any psychologist.

Amit expressed immense gratitude, writing, "You have no idea how much you are helping me. Every time I have a hard day, I immediately enter to listen to an episode or I enter your Instagram or TikTok, and a smile immediately appears. It helps more than any psychologist, damn it, believe me." He specifically mentioned Berkovich's podcasts, "The Magician and His Sons," and his general comedic content.

Lior Berkovich, who is also a rising podcaster and set to appear in the upcoming season of the reality show "GOLSTAR," shared the message on his Instagram story. He admitted it took him several hours to process the message, stating, "I wake up in the morning and see the first message I read. It took me a few hours to digest this not-so-simple message, but it's nice to know that I have the privilege of strengthening people in situations no one would want to be in."

Berkovich responded to Amit with a message of continued support, promising to continue creating content "until episode 1000 for you," accompanied by hug and prayer emojis. He concluded his post with the advice, "Proportions friends and positive energy!!"
