Israeli Member of Knesset Naama Lazimi and her family moved into a rented apartment in Holon's Kiryat Ben Gurion neighborhood about a month before October 7. The family relocated from Haifa, bringing with them nostalgic furniture and heirlooms, but have kept the apartment's interior design minimal due to the intense political climate and their busy schedules. Lazimi describes the home as a lived-in space focused on comfort and family life rather than aesthetics.
The apartment is on the fourth floor of a 1990s building, with supportive neighbors who actively participate in protests for the return of hostages. Lazimi appreciates the proximity to parks and schools for her children, Rona Esther, 8, and Larel Zion, 5. Her partner, Avi, a doctoral student specializing in Iranian Judaism and a local school teacher, supports her both at home and politically.
Despite her demanding role in the Knesset and involvement in protests, Lazimi prioritizes quality family time, often spending weekends with her children and partner. The home features a mix of vintage and modern decor, including a record player they use every Friday, and a bookshelf filled with various genres, symbolizing their shared love of literature. Lazimi emphasizes a relaxed parenting style that allows for messiness, with both parents tidying up afterward.
The family maintains traditional yet casual practices, such as celebrating birthdays in the morning due to Lazimi's long workdays. Cooking is a shared activity, with Lazimi preparing meals and Avi cleaning up. Although she has limited time to engage locally in Holon due to national political commitments, she values the neighborhood and its young families. Lazimi hopes to resume hosting guests soon, as the current security situation has limited social gatherings.
Overall, Lazimi describes their home as a safe, warm, and inclusive space that anchors her amid political challenges, highlighting the importance of love, sharing, and comfort in family life.
