Noa Kirel took advantage of the Sukkot holiday and arrived at Dana-Dwek Hospital to cheer up children with cancer. Volunteer Maor Cohen, known as "the Lego man," shared on social media that Kirel came "without noise and fanfare, without a production crew, just her and a friend." For an hour and a half, she moved through five wards, visiting 11 sick children in their rooms and additional children and parents along the way. Cohen described how when one mother told him that her daughter was scheduled for complex brain surgery, Kirel hurried over to her and "skipped with a smile like a true champion." He defined the visit as "90 minutes of grace" and noted that he had known Kirel from dozens of previous times she came to visit sick children in hospitals over the years. The warm reactions online praised Kirel for using her fame for good causes.
