Sharon Adam Breaks Her Silence Again Ahead of the Wedding: "I Have Been Praying for This Moment for a Long Time"
Ahead of the wedding of her eldest son Omer Adam with his heart’s choice Sasha Israelovitz, Sharon Adam speaks about her spiritual journey, prayers at the grave of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, and the moving moment in which she will accompany him to the chuppah.
She comes from a secular family in Haifa, spent years in the spotlight as a dancer and national aerobics champion, and worked for decades as an educator. But behind Sharon Adam’s quiet demeanor and captivating smile lies a soul on a deep spiritual journey—a path where faith and prayer now hold the central place of honor.
Ahead of the moving wedding of her son, singer Omer Adam, to his heart’s choice Sasha Israelovitz, Sharon does not hide her deep emotion, nor the fact that she sees nothing in this as mere coincidence. For her, the moment she accompanies her eldest son to the chuppah is not just a happy family event, but the fulfillment of long-standing prayers.
"I have been praying for this moment for a long time—to stand under the chuppah with my son Omer. I prayed at the grave of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, at the graves of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai and Rabbi Meir Baal HaNes, and I asked the Creator of the world to do what only He knows how to do," she shared in an interview with the website 'BeSheva'.
This sentiment reflects the awareness that has guided Adam in recent years. While many perceive the world of glamour and publicity as a barrier to material success or spiritual focus, Sharon prefers to turn her gaze inward. Her prayers at the graves of the righteous—from the Lubavitcher Rebbe in New York to the Galilee—were not a Kabbalistic ritual or a specific request for a particular outcome, but a plea to let go and rely on Providence.
Although she currently leads large-scale social initiatives such as 'Bocharim Yachad' and 'Adam Shalem', and strives to influence the public and political discourse in Israel, Adam returns again and again to her starting point. In her view, the most important role in her life is motherhood.
She defines her sons Omer, Roi, and Gal as "children of light." The combination of life in a secular-traditional home, the demanding military service of their father Yaniv (formerly deputy commander of the Shaldag unit), and a deep connection to the study of Judaism and Hasidut has created a unique mix in the Adam family: open and modern, yet bound by strong ties to their roots.
Now, as preparations for the big day are in full swing, Sharon Adam looks at the path her family has taken with immense satisfaction. The upcoming wedding is not just a private joy, but, from her perspective, another link in a chain of faith, gratitude, and a deep connection to the tradition of Israel.
