I came with $300 in my pocket and turned it into millions. I did it little by little, with a lot of hard work and dreams. I can do anything my mind sets out to do.

During the series, Levy shared his ambitious journey, stating, "I came with $300 in my pocket and turned it into millions. I did it little by little, with a lot of hard work and dreams. I can do anything my mind sets out to do." He specialized in restoring buildings damaged by natural disasters, often providing opportunities to individuals facing difficult circumstances, such as "abused women, drug addicts, or former prisoners."

Social media personality Lee Alon, who appeared with Levy on the show, expressed her grief, calling him "a truly great person, with a huge heart, a warm smile, and an energy that was impossible to forget." Levy is survived by his wife and three children. Funeral arrangements are expected to be announced soon, with his burial anticipated in Israel.

There are moments that are simply impossible to process. I just can't believe it. Even though we didn't know each other for many years, he left me with the memory of a truly great person, with a huge heart, a warm smile, and an energy that was impossible to forget. My heart is simply broken. I'll remember you forever.
