Kadri was born in
Haifa,
Israel, to a family of
Arab Israelis on 2 September 1986. Originally raised a
Muslim, she was raised in
Lod, where her father was a taxi driver and her mother was a nurse. In July 2017, the couple became engaged, Upon completing the process of converting in 2018, Kadri took the Hebrew name "
Bracha" (), although her official name remains unchanged. However, because the
rabbi who oversaw her conversion did so independently of the appropriate Israeli religious authorities, Kadri's
Jewishness has not been recognized by the
Chief Rabbinate of Israel or the
Israeli Interior Ministry. She stated that she chose this particular rabbi because he allowed her to continue singing in public, which some devout Jews believe is against
Jewish law. In April 2022, Kadri married Rom Shamir, an Israeli musician from
Ashdod, in the city of
Rishon LeZion. Shamir is 12 years younger than Kadri. She gave birth to their son in October 2022. In May 2024, Kadri posted on her social media a condemnation of
Hamas, after Hamas released a video of female soldiers that it was holding as hostages. In her post, Kadri called Hamas's treatment of the women "a disgrace" which was not in line with Islam. ==Career==
