Former Channel 12 correspondent admits: 'I don't sleep at home'
Melech Zilbershlag surprised the panel members in an unusual interview, in which he spoke about his conscious decision not to live in his private apartment and to wander every night between rental apartments, friends, and family.
Melech Zilbershlag, a former Channel 12 correspondent, provided an unusual glimpse into his personal life during an interview on Channel 14, revealing that he does not live permanently in one house and changes his sleeping place every night.
During the conversation, Zilbershlag explained that he makes sure never to sleep in the same place for two consecutive nights.
"I sleep in a different place every night; I have never been in the same place for two nights in a row," he said.
These remarks surprised the panel members, who did not expect to hear that this is his regular daily routine.
Zilbershlag explained that the green bag he carries with him has become a substitute for a home. According to him, the bag contains the essential items he needs for daily life, allowing him to move from place to place without being dependent on a permanent residence. He spends his nights in various locations, sometimes staying in an Airbnb, other times with friends or family. Instead of setting up a fixed home base, he prefers to remain in constant motion.
Despite this lifestyle, Zilbershlag actually owns an apartment near his parents' house, but he chooses not to live in it. He insists that this is a conscious decision rather than a situation forced upon him by circumstances.
Later, Zilbershlag explained the worldview behind his choice:
"We are born alone, poor and naked, and we also die alone, poor and naked," he said, adding that he tries to live his life in a way that is as close as possible to this concept.
For him, home is not necessarily a physical space, but the things he chooses to carry and the people he encounters along the way. The interview offered a rare look at Zilbershlag's daily routine and his personal philosophy, where mobility and the rejection of permanent housing are part of an attempt to live simply and reduce dependence on property.
