Israeli singer Noa Kirel and her husband, Israeli national football team goalkeeper Daniel Peretz, visited the Western Wall in Jerusalem during their stay in Israel. Kirel shared photos and videos from the visit on her Instagram account, captioning them with the word "Amen," which garnered many positive reactions from her followers.

The couple recently moved to England after Peretz joined the English football club Southampton. Kirel has expressed feelings of homesickness and the personal difficulty of being geographically distant from her home, family, and Israel, noting that each departure back overseas is accompanied by deep longing.

Their visit to Jerusalem comes during a busy and significant year for both. Peretz is working to establish his professional standing in England while serving as the goalkeeper for the Israeli national team. Kirel recently launched a new television series.

Kirel began her career as a teenager, becoming one of Israel's leading pop stars. Her breakthrough came in 2015 with successful singles. She later served in the IDF through a special talent track in a military band. She has broken local performance records, becoming the youngest pop singer to hold major solo shows at Park Hayarkon for tens of thousands of spectators. A significant international milestone was representing Israel at the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest in Liverpool with her song "Unicorn," securing third place.

Peretz started his career in the youth division of Maccabi Tel Aviv before becoming the first-choice goalkeeper for the senior team, with notable performances in the Israeli Premier League and European competitions. His major international breakthrough was in the summer of 2023, leading the U-21 national team to the European Championship semifinals and securing a spot in the Olympic Games. His performance there led to his transfer to Bayern Munich and Hamburg, and subsequently to Southampton to gain regular playing time, while also solidifying his position as a senior goalkeeper for the Israeli national team.
