Channel 14 presenter Eden Harel shared an amusing video on her Instagram account Sunday, featuring her husband, TV presenter Oded Menashe, in an unusual ultra-Orthodox Hasidic appearance. The short clip showed Menashe with a full, seemingly glued-on beard and dressed in traditional religious attire, apparently for a new project. Harel humorously questioned if he would adopt this style, to which Menashe responded that the beard was uncomfortable and restricted his facial expressions, stating, "I can't smile, I can't be happy." He firmly rejected the look, saying, "It doesn't suit me," and added that if the beard were real, "it would be terrible."
The couple, who have been married since 2007, are well-known figures in Israeli culture and media. They rose to fame in the 1990s, Menashe as a long-time host on the Children's Channel and Harel as the first Israeli presenter on MTV Europe. Both underwent a public religious return, and now lead religious lives, raising a family and continuing their media work with joint shows, programs, and lectures on relationships, faith, and family.
