Eden Harel Explains Reduced TV Appearances, Teases New Show

Israeli television host Eden Harel has addressed her reduced presence on screen, explaining her decision to step back from co-hosting the morning show with her husband, Oded Menashe. In an Instagram Q&A session, Harel stated that the show "changed direction and I connected less with it." She indicated that she is currently focusing on documentary work she finds particularly engaging.

Harel revealed that she will soon launch a new interview program, hinting at the upcoming project with the phrase, "Let it remain between us, there is something to wait for." She emphasized that her career shifts are driven by a need to pursue projects she feels personally connected to, believing authenticity is crucial for connecting with viewers.

Recently, Harel hosted the documentary series 'Thirsty Souls,' which explored why Generation Z is "strengthening their faith." Reflecting on interviews with survivors of the October 7th attacks and the Nova music festival massacre, she noted that the concept of "strengthening" faith is complex in such contexts. She suggested the core question is more fundamental: "What does a person lean on when the ground is pulled out from under their feet?"

Harel concluded that while she doesn't yet have a definitive answer to the series' central question, the initial interviews revealed a profound "thirst" among individuals seeking spiritual sustenance during times of crisis.
