MK Yair Lapid (Yesh Atid) expressed his sadness at the passing of long-time television and radio personality Moti Kirschenbaum.

"Moti Kirschenbaum was generous. This is not an attribute for which he was appreciated enough, generosity," wrote MK Lapid on his Facebook page. "He had the ability to give others his talent, his warmth, his ability to love. He was a person who knew how to encourage in an uncaring world. He had the rare strength that caused people around him to find their own strength. He was my friend."
