Judy stayed in a hotel for the first few nights in the big city but was on the lookout for an apartment that would meet her and her partner's needs from the get-go. Her partner, criminal lawyer Avi Rotenberg, joined her on her journey, despite spending half of his time in Israel for work.
"After being used to living in a large house with a yard and everything, suddenly living in a relatively small apartment feels strange," she said.
She expressed concern that it would be a significant challenge for their relationship. "We will be spending a lot of time together, much more than when we are in Israel. But I think we will manage it," she added.
She also got a little help from her son Tomer and her ex-husband Silvan Shalom who also happened to be in New York. “Truth is, our divorce is great. It's so important, in my opinion, when you're divorced from someone, to have a good relationship with them. For the sake of the children, but also for yourself. A person you were with for 26 years. And I'll always love him, He'll always be a good friend of mine.”
