When Merav Michaeli became leader of the Labor Party last month – instantly boosting the left-wing party’s fortunes in the polls prior to the March 23 election – the internet immediately exploded with speculation as to which parties she might consider merging with.
A video from the 1990s quickly began making the rounds on Hebrew-language Twitter. In it, Michaeli and Yair Lapid (now leader of the centrist Yesh Atid party), emerge flustered and laughing from behind a sofa, she adjusting a visible bra strap, he buckling his belt. The video wasn’t fake: it came from the archives of Lapid’s early years as a variety show host. It was proof, chuckled the Twitterati, that these two politicians should have no trouble hooking up.

Tami Jeffay has flipped somersaults inside empty pools, performed the infamously difficult core exercise called an L-sit upon the tines of a tractor’s rake, and routinely vaults herself off the sides of ramps at local skate parks.
It’s all in a day’s work for the 39-year-old Acro Ninja trainer, a British-born high school English teacher and married mother of four who also happens to be an official tester for the “Ninja Israel” reality show. (Her husband, Nathan Jeffay, is the Times of Israel health and science correspondent.)
