I,
Christa-Rachel, Immanuel's mother, have been healing, learning and creating through "Healing-K.i.s.s." since 10 years. That it was erased on..... Christmas 2008 was a sign: "no longer create new pages! but add new creations to existing pages! [up to maximum 1300 KB size per page]" The purpose was revealed only N O W: Humankind is p a s s i n g from linear time and separateness to spherical 'time' and ONEness! |
I DID IT MY WAY

|
And now, the end is
near; I've lived a life thats full. |
|||
Regrets, I've had a few; I planned each charted course; |
|||
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew When I bit off more than I could chew. But through it all, when there was doubt, I ate it up and spit it out. I faced it all and I stood tall; And did it my way. |
|||
I've loved, To think I did all that; |
For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows -
And did it my way!
Yes, it was my way!

Now it's Immanuel's turn to interview
Avi and his family for "Who are you, Masterchef?"
"My mother is the source of my inspiration" |
Roshfeld: Avi during his audition: |
"I fell into drugs" |
"You are loved, Avi" |
"My name is Avi, and I am addicted" |
"I decided, that I needed treatment" |
"When it already reached family and child and wife" |
"And when I was about to loose many things, which were very precious to me.." |
Avi
during his audition:
"It's 18 months now, that I'm clean I'm a clean addicted" "I'm married, father of a son of 8 and my wife is about to deliver every moment" Michal about his audition dish: "You have talent, you have some-thing that can be worked with. Eyal: "there are moments that change the way of a life. I've the feeling that this is such a moment for you and I wish you all the best in the world." |
"This is a temple for me, "Here I learnt slowly that there is life, that there is another option to live, and to stay clean and to take care of yourself and also to enjoy life " |
"Powerlessness" --- "you are loved" --- "You are not alone" [On the bottom of the sceen an announcement is inserted in this moment:: Liat Yaffe, you won an invitation to be one of the 100 tasters [in the Finale]] |
Immanuel about Avi before meeting him in his parents' house
Immanuel:
"why here?" [i.e.
not in the house of your wife and son] Avi: "I've many mixed memories connected to the time when I used drugs. My past that is not something I can put aside, throw out... ...I feel safe here... Immanuel: "Why!?" Avi: "The relationship with the family today is different, it is real,.. I can say that all relationships with father, mother, siblings are my tikkun" [correction in a deep sense]. "My feeling here is so good, I feel so well here, I didn't think that this would happen to me" Michal's words about Avi are inserted here: "Avi didn't open up from the beginning, but suddenly we saw a different Avi, more confident in himself. [The clip from the Blind Choosing of Ingredients is shown, in which Avi experienced his trust in the blind guide.] |
|
Eyal: "Avi, when he is quiet within himself, and he can contain all of himself, and then in two-three steps things come out of him which are absolute and wondrous." |
Avi to the blind guide: "You let me rely on you in a way... And I, I can't express, how much I thank you." |
Roshfeld: "Avi is the best cook here with regard to what we call " a hand". Eyal: "Avi knows something big about life." Immanuel in the interview: "When did you become entangled?" Avi: "At the age of a little less than 15 , at school.... We were a small band and the drugs arrived." Immanuel: "Somebody proposed? How do you start with drugs?" Avi: "The problem is a way of life, it is how to live life. The choice is yours.... it's what you choose to do" |
"And
in the moment in which I choose the negative path, |
"That is the stage, when I went to rehab. It's impossible to become clean of drugs, |
"the
drugs arrived quickly. For me it was an escape that suited me- to a place that caused me not to think about what I didn't want to think about. Not to feel what I didn't want to feel" Immanuel: "Did it help?" Avi: "Yes this helped with regard to not feeling. It didn't help me at all in life. It didn't bring me any advancement. Immanuel: "But you did want to escape!" Avi: "Exactly... ..... Drugs are the worst thing in the world" Immanuel: "Tell me, was there a stage when you said to yourself : 'I'm addicted'?" |
Avi: ?"if you don't admit, that you are addicted. That's exactly the point, when all the family collected, my wife, all,... Immanuel: When Ilanit got to know you, you were already addicted? Avi: Listen, Ilanit is an amazing woman, really. She believed in me, that one day I'll get out of this. She chose to see the good part instead of concentrating on all the negative. and there was negativity. As if to really see the little that was there, that was good. |
"She
saw, that there was good in me and that one day..... She only thought that this would happen fast. And then there was a married life and a child .. Immanuel: "Did you enter prison after you got married?" Avi: "I entered prison after we got married, after already Adir was born." Immanuel: "She walks behind you..." Avi: "An amazing woman". I'll never forget in my life , what she did for me......." Immanuel: "Do you think , that you won?" Avi: "I reached a place in my life, that I enjoy to live, I have fun. " |
"I
enjoy seeing my kids in the morning, I have the deepest feeling for them, the wife, the house, the family .... Yes, at that point, in this situation I think, I did win." |
"Avi is the most loyal to his own food.. He does not try to please... " |
"Avi has high abilities in his hands...." "You never tasted this, right? come, taste it!" |
Avi: It's not enough to make something simple. There must be creativity. This dish they used to make in Algeria., as my parents once told me. "I reached a stage with myself, where I understand that I have to develop myself and to dare more to try to do new things, to try to do other things, to try to do attractive things. In every program I was afraid. "In that program I said to myself: if you go on being afraid when cooking, you'll not profit anything from this program, and you will also soon be dismissed from it. |
Michal: "You
had the courage ..... Of course, you are the one who excelled today! You are
invited to the veranda!"

Levi, and his son Adir
Immanuel: "How much did I hear about you!" |
"When
he talks about you, it's like a prayer..." |
Parents often think that they are here to
guide the little ones. |
Adir: "All of Abba's dishes are wonderful" |

Continuation of the sequence
"Mika with Oree, Avi's baby-son".
We celebrated the Eve of Shabbat, which was the Eve of the Finale, together:
the three finalists and their families
at the hotel in Neve-Ilan, where the traditionally-minded families of Elihav
and Avi stayed for Shabbat,
since in order to reach the Finale - in the Mako-studios at Neve-Ilan - in
time, they would have had to travel on Shabbat.
Immanuel and Avi's father |
Adir drums on a garbage bin, Immanuel laughs, but why is Elihav so serious as I never saw him before? And who exactly is this girl, with whom he walked hugged, but who is not his girlfriend? Nobody knows about any romantic relationship in Elihav's life. Isn't this strange, when three people are such good friends, like Immanuel, Elihav and Avi? |

Efrat tonight
Adir and Mika finally find each other! |
