Attorney Nurit Ayalon-Hirsh, the mother of Israel Yonatan Ayalon-Hirsh, the young Haredi man who responded to hate speech in the Hod Hasharon bus incident, spoke today (Tuesday) with 'Fatachi and Zmri Ba'am' on 'Gale Yisrael' radio - about the family.
""We converted. I was a leftist feminist," she said. "My husband Roni appeared in Meretz commercials, we live in Shinkin and pray in the Belz Hasidic synagogue. We are the bridge between worlds.
""I have eight children, five of whom are boys. My husband is a certified mohel, and more than once when he ran to the rabbis - he was spit on.".

Fathi: "I think this video is wonderful, it came as a providence. The fact that your son knew how to film and is a true fighter, the entire network is full of his soldiers praising him. All these points connect to one cry: Enough!""
Zimri: "Let's imagine it was a guy who didn't serve in the army.".
Nurit: "Exactly. Notice that my son in the video was precise in his questioning and asked: 'Is it because of the kippah? Because of the white shirt?' Let's get to know each other, we have so many things in common. What really hurts me about what happened on the bus is that everyone on the bus was silent.".
