Celebrity Michal Ansky shared in an interview with Ophira Assayag on the program "Ophira Ohana Sari" about her daughter Daniela's religious observance over the past two years. Ansky expressed pride and joy in her daughter's choices, stating, "First of all, I said thank you. This is not returning to anywhere, we grew up in a religious and tradition-observing home." She explained that her daughter attends synagogue after school, participates in the Selichot period, prepares challah, and performs the ritual of separating challah. Ansky clarified her own religious stance, "I don't need to return to observance because I haven't gone anywhere. I am not secular." She noted that her daughter's religious journey has positively impacted their relationship, especially during Daniela's teenage years. "I am very proud of her for it, happy. In adolescence, one needs to hold onto something because one can fly far. There were times when it wasn't simple with her, and I felt this brought her back to me." When asked if she might also become more religious, Ansky reiterated, "I don't need to return to observance because I haven't gone anywhere. I am not secular at all, I observe the Ten Commandments, I am religious in that sense. I simply don't dress modestly and don't immerse in the mikveh, but I am religious in the sense of being meticulous about my thoughts, blessing for the good and the existence. This is the education I received at home." Ansky also addressed a recent video of her burying her head in the ground, explaining it as a way to express her connection to nature and the earth, which helped her cope during the conflict with Iran when her home lacked a protected space. She described a significant personal transformation, "I have changed a lot, or rather, I have come closer to who I am." Ansky revealed that recent events prompted her to re-examine her identity and the public persona she had long been associated with. "I had a very distinct template, a mask that I identified with so much, that when the thing happened internally, I said, 'Who will I be?' and this led me to an investigation of myself." She added that she is studying consciousness and now sees herself differently, stating, "And today I am a hero."
