Noam Kleinstein reveals childhood drama: "They broke up, for two days"
Noam Kleinstein reveals the family drama behind one of Rita and Rami's greatest songs, and discovers an almost unbelievable coincidence that occurred right under her new home.

When you grow up in a house where any family drama can become a national anthem, the line between childhood memories and a chorus on the radio blurs. In an interview for the program "Musical Chairs" with Ido Porat on Eco 99 FM, Noam Kleinstein provided a fascinating glimpse behind the scenes of "Ad She-Ta'azov" (Until You Leave), one of the greatest hits of her parents, Rita and Rami Kleinstein. The song, released in 1996 on the album "Tachanot Bazman" (Stations in Time) and written by Rita to music by Rami, has been perceived for years as a painful and total text about separation and longing.
Now, Noam confirms that the dramatic words were indeed born out of a painful reality and not just creative imagination. "It's one of those moments where being the daughter of my parents and being a music lover get mixed up," Noam shared in the interview, explaining that her mother wrote the text based on a memory of a real separation that occurred between the two in those days.
However, the story does not end with just a nostalgic memory. The passage of time brought with it an almost unbelievable geographical coincidence. Noam said that after she recently moved to a new apartment, she went down to the street together with her mother Rita, and she pointed to an exact spot on the sidewalk and remarked, "This is where it happened." It turns out that the specific location where the drama of the breakup that birthed the song took place is located right under Noam's current home.
In response to host Ido Porat's surprise at the dramatic revelation about the breakup spot, Noam was quick to calm the flames and put the national drama into family proportions with a smiling punchline:
"Yes, that's where they broke up... for two days."
