At the first hint, Hamsa gathered from her bowl a handful of eyes against the evil eye. One eye rested on a stone with the Israeli flag painted on it. In doing so, Klein hinted to us about the short film in which she previously acted: "For the glory of the State of Israel".
The Hamsa then placed an eye on a stone with the United States flag painted on it. Klein played in the movie "Zero in Human Relations", whose rights were sold to the United States and is intended to become a series. In addition, this film was distributed and screened in the United States with great success.
When the security guard looked into the mikvah, he saw a reflection of the actor Robert De Niro. The film "Zero in Human Relations" was screened at the Tribeca Film Festival, founded by De Niro.
Hamsa placed at the Buddha's feet a stone engraved with "TLV-LY555 through a plate". Klein played an employee of the National Airport in a short film called "What Doesn't Kill You". She also worked in El Al's customer service, hence the reference to the Israeli airline.

In the divas special, Hamsa chose to sing "Hero". She said that, "The song doesn't just talk about a hero, but about a real hero. A hero for himself. Mariah Carey wrote in the song that every person has an inner strength that allows him to strengthen himself, both in sickness and in difficulty, and to inspire those around him. I can really relate to that ". Klein suffers from fibromyalgia, which she talks about openly. Klein shares her situation and the difficulties she faces as a result of the disease.

The Hamsa scratch card was made up of 12 European country flags. The reference is of course to Eurovision and number 12, Deus Pois. Klein played in the mini-series "Does Pois" which was produced for the Eurovision event in Israel, in 2019.

Ofira chose Hamsa to sing "Material Girl". Hamsa thanked her, "It is an honor for me to perform a song by the Queen Mother, Madonna. She is an inspiration in every sense, but especially in the crazy health and fitness she takes care of. I try to follow in her footsteps and make sure, especially on such intense days of rehearsals, to drink a lot of water." Klein was the presenter of the General Health Insurance Fund in the campaign for the "Active" app, which aims to maintain health through exercise, drinking water and eating right.
