Eden Saban: "Black is a word I can use, and you can't"

The model and actress Eden Saban , who is currently starring in the series "Northern Wind" and soon in the new series of the ex "Indel" Hot, was a guest on Mickey Levin 's podcast at TMI, and talked about the closing of the circle that was never with the ex Indel from the "Big Brother" house, about the war and the industry A freeze that gave birth to new opportunities, about the women's circles she established, about the love, paragon and ideal relationship she found with her partner Assaf Sholov , about leaving the big city after she recalculated her route since the war broke out. She also talked about the times in her life when she felt she didn't belong: "Half black, half white".

There is a series that should come out soon with the ex from "Big Brother", Indel.
"The series with Indel should be released soon on Hot, a year has passed since the filming. This is a series that was written eight years ago. Before he entered the 'Big Brother' house, he wrote the series and decided that he was knocking on doors and releasing this series. He left the 'Big Brother' house and started Push the series. The series is about the confrontation of the Ethiopian community against Israeli society, against the media against the police, against white society."

Have you been in touch all these years since Big Brother?
"The truth is, no. After many years, I suddenly received a message from him, 'Eden, I'm going out for castings and I'd love for you to come to the audition, I don't promise anything, you'll have to work hard.' It ended without closing the circle and we got the most beautiful closing of the circle, and we went back to being the best of friends."

How was the first meeting? awkward?
"It felt the most homely and natural there is."

How was the joint work?
"Amazing. I understand Indel, I read him, know him. We really speak the same language, it wasn't just that I was his friend at home."

In the project in which Doreen Or's Eden Pines participated, you said "half black, half white". Is that how you feel?
"Not anymore today, but at a young age I didn't find my place in the world, I didn't find myself belonging, only a few years ago I gave way to not belonging. Today I don't need approval from anyone. Because I'm half black I'm half human."

Is the word black an insulting word?
"It's a word that only I can use, and you can't use it."

This month the policeman wins the Salmon Teka case.
"When you have a sequence of things like the child who was run over, why does this keep happening specifically in the Ethiopian tribe? In the case of Teka, the family did not get what they deserved, and also with the child Raphael, what a sad story, even after she confessed, that they give fair and equal treatment to every person, my heart I would fight the same war as they do. There is a recurring narrative here, there is another Ethiopian, I hope the series will make some kind of change."

Your partner won't be questioned or jealous that you are meeting with your ex?
"I have the manliest partner in this world. Assaf is the antithesis of everything I've had in my life. When he came into my life I said wow, apparently the process I did. The partner you deserve is a show. When Assaf arrived I said 'wow', I must have done a good process because I summoned someone for myself which is a ground for the flight of paragon and growth, of love and acceptance and we don't deal with marginal things like jealousy."

Is this your one?
"The fact that I will bring the children with him? So yes, absolutely, I'm still a 28-year-old girl, with God's help."

As someone who had a less successful experience in marriage and got divorced?
"I don't regret a single moment, it made me who I am today, I rushed to get married then, that's how it should be, I always ruled out a wedding, when a man came into my life I said straight up yes, I didn't want to get married. I also had a really difficult experience in the rabbinate, the ceremony itself It's very difficult, the words that are said there are 'deported, bridged, bridged. You are allowed to say such a thing to a woman, they are divine, we create life, we are strong and amazing and can suddenly be in such a position.'

So there won't be a rabbinic wedding?
"No. But there is a situation where I will have a love party like this."

You recently left the big city for Holon.
"After 11 years in the city, we moved because the war was five months, suddenly everything stopped and there was no work, and if once the quality of life was high, the apartment was worth NIS 13,000 a month, and a car and flights and pleasures, and we had a moment of calculating a route and the quality of life is yes and no, there is a crazy race of entertainment and launches And you don't have time to fax the energy of what's really important in your life, the opulence of a stunning apartment and everything is empty, so we left on an economic level because we were thinking about the future. The frequency has also changed, pleasant and calm for me."
