After two and a half years together and nearly a year since their engagement, singer and actor Shahar Taboch, 27, and his partner, music producer Amir Aharon, are marrying in a religious ceremony on Sunday evening. The couple publicly announced their relationship in April 2024 with a playful post inspired by Taboch's hit song "Nadi Badi." The engagement took place last September at the Western Wall, where Aharon proposed with a ring.

Taboch, a rising star in the entertainment world, identifies as religious and openly gay. Their wedding ceremony, overseen by Rabbi Rafael Polishuk, is expected to include religious elements. In an interview with ynet's weekend magazine, Taboch shared the harsh reactions he faced after announcing their engagement, including accusations that he was hated by God and blamed for societal and spiritual issues. He described the emotional toll these comments took on him, saying it led to a period of isolation and deep personal struggle.

Despite the challenges, the couple is celebrating their union surrounded by loved ones. Photographs from the event show joyful moments, including the traditional breaking of the glass. Taboch continues to create music with the intention of bringing joy to others, maintaining his faith and identity through his journey.
