Moshe Kursia, currently busy with his participation in the show "Mechubarim" where he shares personal aspects of his life, is also preparing for a performance in Reading and the release of his new album "Peter Pan." At the launch event for Napoleon 9%, Kursia spoke candidly about his desire for a serious relationship, the difficulties fame brings to dating, his religious upbringing, and the faith that supports him through tough times.

Kursia expressed a clear readiness for a committed relationship, noting that his family is eager for him to settle down, with his mother having set a goal for him to be married by age 25. Although she no longer pressures him openly, he senses her hope and remains optimistic about the future. He described the challenge fame poses, explaining that people feel they already know him from his public persona, which complicates forming genuine connections.

Regarding his decision to participate in "Mechubarim," Kursia admitted it was not easy and that he had hesitated for years before feeling it was the right time, attributing the timing to divine will. Despite occasional discomfort with public exposure, he is content with his choice, hoping his openness helps others feel less alone. He acknowledged receiving mostly positive feedback but also some criticism, including accusations of complaining.

Kursia grew up in a religious home, which he credits for his strong values and the support he received in sharing his life on television. He recounted a meaningful conversation with his father about sexuality that was included in the show, highlighting the non-judgmental attitude of his parents. Although he once felt embarrassed about his religious identity in the entertainment world, he now embraces it fully as part of his core.

Faith plays a central role in Kursia's life, providing comfort during anxiety episodes and guiding his outlook on the future. He encourages young religious individuals not to see faith as a limitation but as a source of strength to pursue their dreams. Looking ahead, he wishes for happiness and love in the coming year.

Alongside his personal revelations, Kursia is excited about his upcoming musical projects, including a Reading performance and the release of his new album featuring five songs, three of which are new. He hinted at a special guest appearance by "the best singer in the country," though he has not yet revealed the identity.
