Noga Friedman, the widow of Shayetet 13 commando Idan Rosenthal, who fell on October 7, gives an interview ahead of a new show she is putting on. In the interview, she speaks about coping with loss through creativity, and describes how she lay down and cried for 14 hours in bed, sang songs to herself, and walked in the forest. She explains that she chose to be "with herself" and not available on social media. Friedman states that the show will include songs and spoken segments, and that she aims to inspire the audience rather than give hope, a word she says should be shattered from the lexicon. She describes her late husband as a talented musician who was "a star in a thousand things" and filled the world with inspiration, and admits that now there is less inspiration in the world.
