Pop Star Inbal Bibi Quits Job to Observe Shabbat

Israeli pop singer Inbal Bibi, known for her participation in "X Factor," has announced her resignation from a job that required her to work on Shabbat, the Jewish day of rest. Bibi shared a photo of herself wearing a head covering on Sunday, signaling a significant shift in her life as she embraces a more religious path. During an Instagram Q&A session, she revealed her decision, stating, "Today is my last day at a job that required me to desecrate Shabbat. I resigned so that I can observe Shabbat."

This move follows a period of personal turmoil for Bibi, who recently spoke candidly about her struggles with complex post-traumatic stress disorder and substance abuse in the nightlife scene. She described reaching a breaking point where she had to choose between understanding what was happening and ceasing to live, leading her to intensive treatment.

Just over two months ago, Bibi married Roi Kornblum, a former "Big Brother" contestant, after two years of dating. Their wedding, held at the archaeological site Ein Yael in Jerusalem, featured a unique Canaanite-inspired theme with a white dress code and symbolic elements from spirituality and Judaism, including a chuppah officiated by Rabbi Eliyahu Assoulin.

Bibi's spiritual transformation, her marriage, and her decision to quit her job mark a new phase in her recovery, as she chooses to take a complete break from professional activities during Shabbat.
