Israeli Economy Minister Nir Barkat Marries Daughter Amit in Private Three-Day Celebration

By מאור בן הרוש
Translated & summarized from Walla by baba
The story · English

Israeli Economy and Industry Minister Nir Barkat recently celebrated the wedding of his daughter, Amit Barkat, to her fiancé, Yarden Avishi. The lavish three-day event took place at the luxury Ahuzat Yaarot HaCarmel hotel, which was exclusively rented for family and friends. Despite the grandeur, the wedding was kept relatively private, with Barkat refraining from public comments or social media posts about the occasion.

Guests enjoyed a full weekend of festivities, including a lively all-night party followed by a relaxing Friday morning by the pool with a DJ, cocktails, gourmet food stations, and personalized gifts such as branded M&M's featuring the couple's photos. The celebration continued with a sumptuous Shabbat meal and a stand-up comedy performance by Daniel Chen for those who stayed.

Amit Barkat, a trained pastry chef and founder of a sweets empire bearing her name, is the daughter of Nir Barkat and his wife, Beverly. The couple has two other daughters, Noam and Daniel. The family and guests wished the newlyweds happiness and good fortune in their future together.
