Hadasa Ben Ari and the end of a complex period

This post comes after Ben Ari, the ex-wife and mother of seven children of singer Hanan Ben Ari, recently shared her feelings regarding a significant change in her family's routine. She revealed that her youngest daughter, Ori Shoshana, has been potty trained, concluding a sequence of 16 consecutive years of caring for infants.

She shared that she is experiencing a sense of euphoria alongside a certain grief, as she learns to walk down the street without a stroller and release the need to constantly hold on. The complex feelings that accompanied her as she parted with the signs of childhood flooded her, alongside observing her children growing up.

Releasing control and family growth

In her words, Ben Ari explained that in the past she knew how to combine complex tasks such as holding two infants, frying schnitzels, and sending a book to print simultaneously. Now, as the children have grown, she understands that her role is changing from strict education to tasting truth, love, and prayer at home.

She emotionally described her two youngest children, Shlomi and Ori, who fall asleep every night holding hands. After returning to a new routine without a baby stroller, she concluded that all the efforts, pregnancies, and worries were worth the moments when siblings support each other.
