The One My Soul Loves (Hebrew: את שאהבה נפשי) is a play by Israeli playwright and writer Itai Segal, which premiered at the Habima Theatre on 25 December 2021.

[1] The play was inspired by the Tel Aviv gay centre shooting in a youth bar and also deals with conversion therapy, homophobia and hate crimes.

The play includes the actors Amit Rahav, Daniel Litman, Orly Silbersatz Banai, Yadin Gellman and Naya Bienstock.

[2][1] Segal initially envisaged the project as a short film, focusing on a mother in the hospital waiting room after the Noar Bar attack.

Upon meeting the director, Moshe Kepten, Segal realized that the forced revelation of the son's sexuality could develop into an expanded story for the theatre.

[5] The performance and reception were attended by Cypriot Deputy Minister of Culture Mr Yiannis Toumazi and the Israeli Ambassador in Israel, Oren Anolik.
