A clip from comedian Adir Miller's interview with Srugim has exploded on social media, racking up hundreds of thousands of views within hours and sparking an outpouring of positive reactions across Israeli society.
The interview, conducted at the premiere of Miller's new series "Reset," touched on deeply personal topics, from navigating a midlife crisis to confronting mortality after losing his father, but it was his comments about acceptance and religious soldiers that struck the deepest chord.
When asked directly how he would respond if his wife or one of his children decided to become religiously observant, Miller's answer was unequivocal.
"Any child of mine, whatever they want to do, I'll support them 100 percent," Miller said. "If that's their choice and that's their decision, I'm with them. My children will do what they want, choose whatever path they want, I'll always be there behind them, with a hug, with love and with support."
The comedian, known for his secular perspective, then shared observations from visiting wounded troops after the war that left a lasting impression on him.
"As someone who visited many wounded soldiers after the war, the number of combat soldiers wearing kippot that I met is worthy of appreciation, worthy of applause," Miller said. "I simply encountered amazing populations."
