The wedding ceremony of popular Israeli singer Omer Adam and his partner, Sacha Israelovich, is expected to feature separate seating for men and women.
According to the report by Pnai Plus, the gender segregation is connected to Hassidic singer Motty Steinmetz's participation in the ceremony. Adam is a fan of Steinmetz's music, and the two have a prior acquaintance.
According to the report, Steinmetz conditions his appearance at weddings on separate seating at the ceremony. Those close to the singer say that the condition is enshrined in his contract.
According to those close to Steinmetz, anyone inviting him to perform at a wedding is aware of the demand in advance. Accordingly, Adam and Israelovich's wedding ceremony is expected to be separate as well.
Omer Adam and Sacha Israelovich's wedding is scheduled to take place at an extraordinary event site at a converted 14th-century Christian monastery in Portofino, Italy.
According to reports, the 100 invited attendees will be asked to leave their mobile phones at the entrance to maintain the event's privacy.
The guests are expected to leave for Milan on Tuesday via private jet. From there, they will be taken to Portofino, where a reception will be held that evening.
The wedding itself will be held on Wednesday and will be divided into two parts. Guests are asked to follow a strict dress code that includes evening gowns and suits.
