Nahari concluded with a call to remember that the world is broad and complex.

This morning (Saturday), Oren Nahari's final show on Kan Reshet Bet was broadcast, amid the deterioration of his health due to ALS, which makes it difficult for him to write, speak, and even breathe. Nahari opened the show by announcing that this was his last program, noting that the disease is progressing rapidly and affecting his respiratory, swallowing, and speech systems. The show's producers prepared a surprise for him, broadcasting a recorded greeting from President Isaac Herzog, who said that in the age of social media, when discourse becomes shallow and superficial, the show demonstrated how to conduct a deep, respectful, and horizon-expanding discussion. During the show, regular interviewees such as Prof. Eitan Gilboa, Yigal Palmor, Dr. Lauren Dagan Amos, and Noga Tarnopolsky expressed appreciation for his life's work. Nahari concluded with moving words, thanking producer Mia Talmon Azarzar and his wife Vered Ariel Nahari. He ended with the call: "Remember, the world is broad, complex, and it is our duty to observe it with open eyes."
