The art of barbering holds an immense amount of charm and fascination. It is amazing how a skilled barber can transform a person's appearance, making them look like an entirely different individual. But what truly sets apart a master barber from the rest is their ability to perform what seems like magic, taking a simple haircut and turning it into a work of art. Just like a magician, a master barber wields their tools with precision and flair. Their hands dance across the client's head, effortlessly creating intricate and precise cuts. They seem to possess an innate understanding of hair, knowing how it will behave and how to manipulate it to achieve the desired result.

Campaign encourages parents to create “magic moments” with their children
Every moment in the lives of busy parents and their children can become an enjoyable, meaningful and memorable moment. That’s the message of the Magic Moments campaign in Israel, which launched in 2019 with a series of short documentary films on Hop!, Israel’s leading cable and satellite TV channel for preschoolers, and has since expanded to reach more parents through a range of partnerships with the private sector.

Magic Moments – and its Arab-language equivalent, Beautiful Moments – was the subject of an in-depth case study in 2021 conducted by RAND Europe. An evaluation found that 47% of parents have started to interact with their children in new ways as a result of the campaign.
Daniella Ben-Attar, Country Representative for the Bernard van Leer Foundation in Israel, says: “We supported the Magic Moments campaign because parents of young children often feel isolated and lack the time or financial capacity to seek help. We want to assure them that they already have everything they need to bond with their child through meaningful and memorable moments that help their child develop.”
