30 years of Irit Anavi and 14 years of Yoav Zucker came to an end last night (Tuesday), with the entry into the position of the new lottery facilitators: Jordan Harel, Noa Rosin and Ido Greenberg.
The first to go through the baptism of fire was Harel, who did not seem particularly relaxed on her first broadcast.
True, it's not really fair to visit a restaurant during its run week (with Jordan sorry for the comparison) and it's definitely a stressful class that requires a precise balance between professionalism, serving and humor.
Still, Harel is a TV woman not from yesterday, and somehow some of the lightness and grace that characterizes her was converted last night into the excitement evident in her face, voice and body language.
The big prize this week, NIS 40 million and up to NIS 80 in the double lottery, seemed to emphasize how important and festive this event is.
Most likely he was indeed for some people and very happy at home.
But for Harel, a blessed and pleasant TV personality, it seemed like a pressure cooker.
It is difficult to take seriously texts that accompany a lottery and are supposed to give this rather technical event a kind of festive feeling.
Therefore, it was possible to give up the story about the good friends who have been filling out a joint form for many years and won eight million shekels when one of them was abroad and the other was in Israel.
Nor does it really have anything to do with the critical piece of information with Harel's lucky number (for those interested - it's seven, because she was born on the seventh of the month, she reveals to us. We went one step further and checked the month and it's November).
On the occasion of the event, Mifal Hapayis launched what it defines as a "new and sophisticated studio", which will certainly not impress Israeli television viewers, who are used to watching sophisticated virtual studios in the news studios in every election campaign (and here, God willing, there are quite a few).
Yes, it's a bit strange to criticize a lottery, but these are weird times and overall it's a short and light broadcast, whose job is to pick up the lottery and make the year for some people in this country.
In this respect, Jordan Harel opened a new era yesterday.
She did not pass the test for the first time lightly and naturally, but certainly in a respectful way.
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
