Carmit-Telaviv

i m an actress....
I’m always being cast as the bitchy, tough woman.
I’d love to play someone more vulnerable and soft instead of always being the surviving, struggling woman.

I have ADHD and was never treated for it. It was extremely difficult for me to sit and study without talking and interrupting in class.
Theater class saved me in high school because
I could finally let go.

I hope I’m a good mom.
I think I give my children everything they need... But sometimes they just need a story before they go to sleep and I’m not there. I feel torn between two worlds and I know that my children pay a price.

I have a dream to open a restaurant in my house where I can cook for small groups.
-My mother’s semolina cookies. The best in the whole wide world.

Every Passover, my uncles and my father used to buy 5 sheep and put them in the yard. After a couple of days, the butcher came and “did his job”. One Passover, when I was 7 years old, my parents told me to go upstairs but I stayed in the yard, hiding behind a small wall… I saw how they tied the sheep, hung them upside down on an iron hanger and slaughtered them.

I felt like my father was living in prehistoric times, performing a pagan ritual.
I felt shame…
