Media personality Ofira Assayag shared anecdotes about businessman Amos Luzon on her program on 103FM, following a lavish circumcision ceremony for his grandson.

Assayag discussed reactions to the ceremony, where Luzon reportedly scattered 200 shekel notes during a performance by singer Sarrit Haddad. She speculated this was Luzon's way of getting rid of the bills before they are phased out, noting, "This is Amos, living life."

She also recounted an amusing incident from about 20 years ago when she visited Luzon's home on a Saturday. She noticed a kiosk at the end of the garden and asked if she had arrived at the right place. Luzon explained he had opened the kiosk inside his home because "every time I want a cigarette, seeds, something sweet I don't want to go to the kiosk." He even had an employee working shifts there and would purchase items from him. Assayag expressed astonishment, stating, "I've never seen anything like it in my life."

Luzon's daughter, stylist Or Luzon, was involved in organizing the event and humorously questioned her father's actions, asking, "What will you do for me at my wedding?" Assayag concluded by praising Luzon as "one of the funniest people I've seen in Israel and a shrewd businessman."
