"How fast you've grown": Celebrity children head to first grade
After covering their pregnancies, births, and first photos, it's hard to believe that the next generation of the local scene is already carrying a school bag on their backs. Shir Elmaliach, Eden Ben Zaken, Daniel Greenberg and Eyal Golan, Yarden Harel, and other celebrities found it hard to say goodbye: "Something new is starting for us now."
September 1st always brings butterflies in the stomach and a new beginning, and the celebrities of our local scene were no exception: some of them accompanied their children this morning (Tuesday) on their way to first grade. It seems like only yesterday we were covering the pregnancies, births, and names of their children, but now they are officially entering the next stage of their lives: these are the celebrities who sent their next generation to school.
Eden Ben Zaken | Michelle
The successful singer (32), who is used to documenting her son, who has become a star himself, mainly on his TikTok account, uploaded a story from inside the school and wrote to Michelle: "Good luck in first grade, my king."
Eyal Golan and Daniel Greenberg | Miel
Their first shared daughter went to first grade today, and the parents, who have long since not been together, reunited for the exciting occasion, documented it, and wrote a moving greeting. Daniel: "My special girl, it's as if you were born only yesterday and already first grade. Wishing you lots of luck, may you walk with a smile and return with a smile every day, amen. Proud to be your mom and to accompany you every moment of your life's journey. I love you and will protect you forever. Mom is always with you, my dearest in the world!"
Eyal: "My Miel is going to first grade and there is nothing more exciting than this! May you have the most amazing year ever, my beloved girl, conquer everyone as you know how."

The second son of the influencer and reality TV star (37) also started school for the first time, and both his parents accompanied him for the exciting moment alongside his brother: "Good luck, our loves," she wrote on the shared story at the school entrance.
Shir Elmaliach | Raphael
The model (36) was especially moved this morning when she accompanied her son from her marriage to businessman Michael Zanzuri to first grade. The star uploaded a joint photo from the classroom next to her son and wrote: "Something new is starting for us now. Hello, first grade."
Yarden Harel | Lenny and Gefen
The presenter (41) accompanied her twins for the first time to their educational settings and could not stop the excitement: "All last week my heart was beating at 200. One morning I am in peak excitement that my little ones are going to first grade, the next day the body fills with fears if they will manage and enjoy, and the day after that with tears in my eyes, how time slips through my fingers and they were just toddlers who went to municipal kindergarten a moment ago. And this morning - I am all adrenaline and with a huge smile, accompanying the loves of my life in the new and exciting chapter of their lives. I am blessed. My Lenny and Gefen, mom is always by your side holding your hand and also so happy that there are two of you, that you can hold each other's hand, support, tease, laugh together and say - hello, first grade."
Shay Hai and Tania | Juno
The reality TV star (42), who only recently broke up with his former partner Tania Gerber (33) after over a decade of love, found it hard to let go of their daughter. Shay uploaded a photo where he, like any proud and excited father at the event, kissed her on the cheek.
Don Lanny-Gabbay | Rona
"Don't cry yet, Don, don't cry yet," wrote the actress (39) a moment before she left with her second daughter, born to her and her husband Ofer Rotenberg, towards school for the first time.
Tahounia Rubel | Talia
"I look at you and can't believe how fast you've grown. Only yesterday I held you in my arms, and today you are already with a school bag on your back, going out into the big world, to learn, to discover, to get to know, and to dream. I want you to know, my Talia, that I am so proud of you. Not only because you are going to first grade, but because of the girl you are - sensitive, smart, funny, curious, strong, and full of heart. There will be easy days and there will be days that are a little less simple. There will be things you succeed in immediately, and there will be things that take time. And that's okay. I want you to always remember that you don't have to be perfect. It's okay to make mistakes, it's okay to be afraid, it's okay to ask for help, and it's okay to start over. Always believe in yourself, even in moments when it will be a little hard for you to believe. Keep your good heart, be a good friend, respect others, and most importantly - never forget how special you are. And mom will always be there. To encourage you, to hug you, to listen to you, to lift you up when it's hard, and to be happy with you in every success, small or big."
