Shuli Rand Divorce: Israeli Actor Finalizes Split After Years

Israeli actor and musician Shuli Rand and his first wife, Michal Rand, appeared together Tuesday at a rabbinical court to finalize their divorce after years of public and legal conflict. The two were photographed entering the court building together, according to Israeli media outlet TMI.

The court appearance marks the formal conclusion of a lengthy and complex chapter for the former couple, who were married for decades and raised seven children together. In recent years, their relationship deteriorated into a highly publicized dispute involving serious allegations from both sides.

The case drew significant public attention after Rand married Tzofit Grant in 2021 under a halachic permit (Jewish legal permission) obtained from rabbis, even though his divorce from Michal had not yet been finalized. Since then, the conflict between the parties has continued, with Grant herself frequently finding herself at the center of public criticism.

Throughout the years, Michal claimed that Shuli did not maintain consistent contact with some of their children and failed to provide them with financial support, including for medical expenses. She also demanded completion of the divorce proceedings and payment of funds she claimed were owed to her from the legal process and from a business the couple had operated during their marriage.

Recently, Grant addressed the criticism she and her husband have faced over the dispute. In an interview with Erez Tal, she described how the couple has dealt with harsh public reactions, saying: "Both Shuli and I hear the humiliations, we receive ricochets of humiliations."

The couple's arrival at the rabbinical court now brings the protracted battle to an official conclusion—after years of playing out in the public eye.
