Eshkar, the headscarf brand that has become a home for women who love fashion, color, and style in recent years, is expanding into the clothing world for the first time.

Ahead of the upcoming Tishrei holidays, the brand launched a new modest fashion collection, offering a complete holiday look.

The move was born out of the natural connection between the world of headscarves and fashion. At Eshkar, a headscarf is seen as much more than a head covering – it is an integral part of the look and a way for every woman to express herself.

Based on their acquaintance with the customer base, the brand launched a clothing collection that combines modesty, style, variety, and attention to detail, allowing women to create a complete outfit combining clothing and accessories.

Alongside the clothing collection, Eshkar is also launching a wide collection of holiday headscarves, including scarves, bandanas, headbands for partial coverings, and hairbands, allowing customers to complete and vary their look according to the occasion and personal style.

The collections are available on the Eshkar website and at the brand's new store at 3 Hahistadrut Street, Petah Tikva.

"No Longer Afraid of Fears": A home CBT kit for parents and children

Liat Omrad-Zorea, psychologist (MA), organizational consultant, and CBT therapist, launches "No Longer Afraid of Fears" – a home activity kit designed for parents and children to jointly cope with fears, anxiety, and uncertainty.

The kit is based on the principles of the CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) method and offers a structured process that helps the child understand the fear, name it, and face it gradually instead of avoiding it.

It includes a joint workbook for the parent and child and a guide for parents, featuring tools for emotional dialogue, validating fear, and boosting feelings of security and capability.

Through small, gradual tasks, the child experiences "small victories" against fear and learns to transition from feeling helpless to taking action.

At the same time, parents receive tools on how to mediate emotions, respond during emotional overload, and guide the child to cope without amplifying anxiety.

The kit is suitable for a wide range of fears and challenges, from fear of the dark and social situations to dealing with changes, uncertainty, and stressful situations.

It was developed following requests from parents who wanted to continue using professional tools at home after the professional edition of the kit was implemented in clinics and schools.
