The brand is also opening three dedicated Purim concept stores operating until the end of March at Ofer Grand Mall Petah Tikva, Ofer Grand Canyon Beersheba, and Mall Hof Hadera. These stores are designed with a Purim-themed fantasy world atmosphere.

Rejuvenating the Face

After 15 years of research in skin aging biology, the luxury skincare brand Estée Lauder, at the forefront of dermatological science and groundbreaking research, reveals new discoveries about biological mechanisms affecting skin aging. The brand is making a revolutionary "version upgrade" with the launch of Re-Nutriv Ultimate Diamond Transformative Brilliance Soft Creme—a velvety moisturizer based on cutting-edge scientific technology called Sirtivity-Lptm. This research field aims to understand the biological and physiological mechanisms that enable skin to maintain a healthy, youthful appearance and function over time while combating natural aging processes and environmental damage.

The technology activates the skin’s youth mechanisms through sirtuin proteins, which preserve optimal skin function for natural repair and renewal, improving its ability to cope with environmental damage. The goal is to "slow down time" and equip the skin with the tools to maintain a healthy, youthful look. After 14 consecutive days of use, the cream renews the skin thanks to a high concentration of Estée Lauder’s exclusive Black Diamond Truffle extract. The results: Improved elasticity and firmness, radiant and hydrated skin, a more even complexion, reduced appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, minimized post-acne marks and dark spots, and refined pores.

The cream comes in a recyclable diamond-like glass jar in two different sizes.

Dreamy Colors

Meet the new way to express yourself with colors without committing to a long-term change.

You can dye your hair in any shade you desire—bold pink, deep blue, glowing green, and more—and change your look over and over without worrying about damaging your hair.

The dye is easy to apply, absorbs quickly, and gradually washes out after 10-20 shampoos, allowing you to experiment, mix it up, and surprise yourself again and again. So go ahead—let your imagination run wild! What color will you choose today?

Life Journey

The Pastel Group, owned by Itzik Hangal, is launching Grace – an intimate culinary space led by Michelin-starred chef Gal Ben-Moshe, offering a gastronomic experience for 18 diners per round. Grace is defined as Ben-Moshe's "playroom," a place where he unfolds his culinary life journey across cultures, memories, and experiences, from the dishes to the design and presentation.

Grace, located next to the Pastel restaurant, offers dishes made from local ingredients and craftsmanship, wines, and cocktails, with an emphasis on locality and authenticity.

Throughout the meal, guests experience Ben-Moshe's life journey through dishes like a tartlet with beef tartare and roasted garlic, alongside a broccoli crostada with smoked yogurt – a nod to his life experiences at Glass and Prism in Berlin; "Forest" – symbolizing the cultural transition to Berlin, dramatic smoke, and mushrooms from cultivated agriculture in Israel; stuffed squid with Andouille lamb, yogurt, and Japanese tare sauce representing Tel Aviv; and a take on Beef Wellington, with beef fillet wrapped in mushroom duxelles and Swiss chard, inspired by London.

The restaurant's design is influenced by the new wing of the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, with seating around a central bar. On the side, there's a stone table, "a culinary altar," where diners can watch the process of dish preparation.

Itzik Hangal, co-owner of the Pastel Group: "The opening of Grace symbolizes our commitment to continue setting a new standard of uncompromising culinary excellence at an international level. The place is more than just a restaurant; it's a stage for an intimate, artistic, and emotional experience that allows guests to disconnect from their daily routine and embark on an unforgettable flavor journey."

Chef Gal Ben-Moshe: "I thought a lot about how I want Grace to look and feel. The experience here is different from what I presented at Pastel and Prism. Here, every dish is my personal signature. We took defining moments from my career and personal life, from experiences that left an imprint on me, and distilled them into an art form with a distinct culinary statement. You will find a new interpretation here that tells the story of my life."
