Live from Tel Aviv, two nice Jewish boys.

Hi, I'm Aiton Weinstein, and I'm Na'Or Minninger.

Meirav Ben Ari became a Knesset member in 2015 as part of the Kulano party.

Before that, she served at the Tel Aviv City Council and took charge of the portfolio for promoting youth.

But the fame came long before that, when she participated in the reality show In Search of a Leader

and won the first prize, 5 million shekels. In late 2016, M.K. Ben-Aree publicly revealed her decision

to give birth to a child on her own with the assistance

of a friend, and thus exposed Israeli society to the concept of modern single-parent parenthood.

In a relatively conservative country, this was a courageous act that was followed by very

emotional responses from all parts of Israeli society.

Ben-Ari's work in the Knesset is focused

on the cost of living, educational issues, and gay rights. She's quoted in an article as saying,

I believe in the two-state solution, but it's not what I'm in the Knesset for. I'm here for social

issues. This podcast is made in cooperation with the Jewish Journal,
