Israeli Actor Orel Tzabari Hospitalized but Performs Despite Kidney Stone Pain

Israeli actor and comedian Orel Tzabari faced a sudden medical emergency on Sunday when he woke up with severe pain caused by a tiny one-millimeter kidney stone. Unable to function, he sought immediate medical help and was admitted to the emergency room after his family doctor’s referral. Following extensive tests and heavy painkillers, doctors identified the kidney stone as the source of his intense discomfort.

Tzabari apologized to fans who attended the premiere of his play "Around the World in 80 Days," which he missed due to his condition. However, determined not to cancel his commitments, he decided to perform in the second show that same evening. With his wife Sivan driving, he managed to arrive and take the stage despite still being under the effects of morphine. Sivan shared her amazement on social media, highlighting his resilience.

This incident adds to a series of recent health challenges Tzabari has publicly shared, including a severe reaction to spicy food and adverse effects from weight loss injections. Now, after overcoming the pain to perform, he hopes the kidney stone will pass quickly so he can return to his routine without further emergency visits or reliance on strong pain medication.
