Erez Da Drezner (Hebrew: ארז דה דרזנר, born August 1, 1978)[2] is a deaf Israeli model, fitness trainer, lecturer, and a finalist in the second season of the Big Brother television show.

Biography

[edit]

Da Drezner was born in Haifa, Israel, to a mother who has been a hairdresser and owns a jewelry business, and to a father who was a jeweler. He has two brothers.

Erez's great-grandfather, Yehoshua Dressner, was murdered in the Holocaust when he was in his 60's.[3] Therefore Erez father's name was Yehoshua (born in 1951). Erez's grandfather, Oskar Dresner who was born in 1910, was a Holocaust survivor.[4]

As a child, he attended a special education school in Haifa, and later studied jewelry in WIZO school [he]. After graduating from high school, he enlisted in the Israel Defense Forces in the Medical Corps. After his discharge from the army, he studied interior design, cooking and confectionery.[5] He worked as a model at the Elite Modeling Agency,[1][6] in which he participated in photography for Elle magazine with the model Anya Martirosov.[7] In 2005, he worked as an instructor in special education schools and was active in the "Shema"[8] club.

On July 18, 2024 he married Oleksandra, a Ukrainian deaf woman,[9] at Lviv.

Participation in Big Brother

[edit]

When he was 31 years old, Da Drezner became a contestant in the second season of Big Brother in Israel, with the aim of being a positive and inspiring model for the deaf community.[2] He stated that he wanted the watchers to learn to accept the deaf and hard of hearing people as they were. Further, he stated that his motto was "Positive Energies" alongside "And whatever",[10] and became one of the standout characters of this season. Da Drezner's participation in the program caused an echo in the deaf community, which saw him as a groundbreaking figure. Da Drezner was also featured in several episodes of the television show Eretz Nehederet, played by Eli Finish.[11][12]

105 days after entering the Big Brother house, Da Drezner was expelled after reaching sixth place.[2][13]

In 2010 and 2011, he wrote a weekly column on the Mako website about the tenants in the Big Brother show.[14][15][16]

In 2012, he sued the production company and Keshet Media Group, after he allegedly received psychiatric pills during the show that caused him side effects, including depression and dysfunction.[17][18][19]
