The story · English

Ruchala Shlomi, a 75-year-old resident of a nursing home in Ramla, Israel, has rapidly become a viral sensation on TikTok just days after opening her account under the username 12345ggio. Within two days, she amassed hundreds of thousands of views and thousands of followers by posting candid and humorous videos from her nursing home life. Her content includes rating fellow residents with blunt honesty, searching for a bride for her grandson Itamar, and sharing unfiltered opinions that have captivated a young audience.

One of her most popular videos featured her rating her nursing home friends, giving low scores to some and perfect marks to others, sparking lively reactions online. Despite some skepticism about the authenticity of the account due to its generic username and viral timing, Ruchala’s straightforward style won over many viewers. She also gained notable attention when Israeli pop singer Noa Kirel reposted one of her videos, significantly boosting her exposure.

Ruchala’s TikTok profile humorously references her husband "Moshe the handsome" and her "2000 wonderful grandchildren." Her viral peak came with a video showing "before Moshe" and "after Moshe" photos, ending with the phrase "I'm still with Moshe, eat your heart out, Hannah." This blend of humor, candidness, and relatable content has made her a unique figure on the platform, with followers eagerly awaiting her next posts and the potential response from "Hannah."
