Held at the indoor pool complex of the Wingate Institute, the sports training facility outside Netanya that is used by Israeli national sports teams, the show turned the strip of asphalt running alongside Wingate’s Olympic-size indoor pool into the models’ runway.
“It’s long, very long,” laughed Gadot regarding the runway during an interview with “Good Evening with Guy Pines.”
Gadot has long been one of the faces in Castro’s semi-annual campaigns, and is currently featured as the model in Castro’s “Jeanius” Push-Up/Twerk it jeans campaign plastered on billboards countrywide.

We can't do this work alone.
The war with Iran has been draining for all of us in Israel. But when I heard about a high casualty incident – ballistic missile impacts in Arad and Dimona that left nearly 200 people wounded – I drank a cup of coffee, packed a bag, and headed south.
There, I spoke with Shilgit, the head of an after-school program for underprivileged youth. Standing outside her destroyed center, Shilgit said it was a miracle that no children were hurt and spoke about the community coming together in the hours since.
As a Times of Israel reporter, I’m committed to telling stories of resilience like Shilgit’s. But my colleagues and I can't do this alone.
