Uri Zohar, a former actor and director who turned his back on the entertainment industry to become an ultra-Orthodox rabbi, died on Thursday.
Uri Zohar passed away at the age of 86.
Zohar, who was born in Tel Aviv and had wavy, shoulder-length hair, was most known for his 1960s bourekas films, which were largely slapstick comedies that poked fun at practically everything Israeli, particularly the reception of new immigrants to Israel.
“Hole in the Moon,” “Three Days and a Child,” “Every Bastard a King,” “Big Eyes,” and “Peeping Toms” (“Metzitzim”) were among the films he directed and starred in.
Prime Minister Naftali Bennett praised Zohar, calling him “a vital component of Israeliness in all its colours.”
Bennett described Zohar as a “bringer of hearts together” in the worlds of performing, culture, and Torah.
In his film, Zohar was praised for his investigation of manhood and machismo, relationships, and the military’s influence.
