01x02 - Episode 2

Post by bunniefuu »

If the whole world has
"the public's right to know,"

with us it's "the public's right
not to know."

There are no pictures of women
on an Ultra-Orthodox website.

Keren, go to your left.
A little further.

Perfect.

As a woman it bothers me.

Do the "Shas" thing.
Perfect.

Go, Shas. Thanks.

May this newspaper sanctify God's name

and I hope it brings us 22 Parliament seats.

There are no ethics in the Ultra-Orthodox media.

The newspaper is totally apolitical.

Knowingly, intentionally and eagerly.

This time we're going into battle
for God's sake.

It's a healthy, necessary brainwash.

Stay on the path!

Don't stray!

I'm on my smartphone 24/6.

It's my third hand.

Chevrolet on the phone, pull over.

I work at the Kan Moreshet
radio station,

I do the "Mendy Bitan" morning show
with Eli Bitan.

When my rabbi tells me:
"Vote for United Torah Judaism party,"

That's sacred.
It doesn't matter who the candidate is.

It could be a cat.

I don't base my vote on what I want,

I base it on what the great rabbis say.

I, Sari Rot, political correspondent
for the Haredim 10 website,

will vote for the UTJ party
because I was told to by my rabbi

whom I believe in, heart and mind.

Itzik.

Itzik.

Yes? -C'mere a minute.

We have a 48-page newspaper
to finish.

Nice.

Itzik, I want a picture of them
with Aryeh.

Whoever we've got.
We've got Rabbi Baruch.

I want a picture with Aryeh, okay?

It has to cry out.

It's an outcry. We've had enough.

This is the last issue before the elections.

When I woke up I knew
the headline would be "Judgment Day."

I tried to combine scare tactics

with blessings.

The Torah Sages Council
signed an announcement yesterday

calling on the public to vote for Shas,
and for whoever doesn't

they use strong words:

The Ultra-Orthodox public doesn't elect,
it votes.

And we vote for the great rabbis.

Each person votes for
his own rabbi

and follows his path.

On the other hand we have

the story of "Lapiderman's"
evil regime.

We adjusted the photo...

It's not a real photo
but it could be.

It evokes... maybe Natan
can put it better... but...

We changed the colors
and added...

some "dirt" to make it look
more dramatic.

That's what we're trying to do.

Scare people.

And it's scary.

Fantastic.

Shalom just sent
today's caricature.

Let's see what it is.

With all due respect,
it's inappropriate for HaDerech,

it isn't right for our readers.
-What's wrong with it?

Look.

It's an Ashkenazi Torah scroll.

He should send us a Sephardi Torah scroll.

Can't you see?

Itzik...

What do you need?

Tell Shalom he sent
an Ashkenazi Torah scroll.

We need a Sephardic Torah scroll,
a round one,

not a scroll with "pegs".

Let's begin with
the interpersonal laws.

Every Mitzvah (commandment),
be it mandatory or prohibited...

It's the day before the elections

and as I do every day,
I start the morning studying Torah.

And today I'm preparing myself

for an important Mitzvah:
"Do as you're instructed."

The Vilna Genius quotes
a verse from Proverbs:

"The lips of the king are magical,
his judgment is unassailable."

"The king" here
is the generation's great rabbi.

His lips are so magical

that even if he doesn't
know the details

or he's been misled,

God will turn things around
such that

two or three or six months from now,
or ten years, you'll discover

that things have changed
so that what he said

ten years before
turned out to be right.

So I prefer to follow what God says,

"do as you're instructed."

That's the definition of Ultra-Orthodox.
That and nothing else.

Actually, I wasn't prepared for this,

but here with us is the Prime Minister.

What do you have to say
to my viewers?

I say: Go out and vote,
vote for Likud,

Election Day has begun

and I'm sure that
everyone watching now

realizes that the fate...

the fate of Israel hangs in the balance.

Vote Likud.

The morning news for Election Day.

Today we all obey the great rabbis
from all circles and ethnic groups.

Today we all sanctify God's name
in public and declare:

God is our king.

We'll follow the various candidates
and try to see

where this dramatic day
will lead us at 10:00 p.m.

I was at the Prime Minister's Residence

until 3 a.m. See?

We'll skip to the end.

Go out and vote, vote Likud,

and I want to thank you, Israel,

for the holy work you're doing.
-Thank you.

Thank you.
-Thank you.

We were there until late
but we woke up to pray with the Rabbi.

We're here to accompany Rabbi Kanievsky,
the giant of the generation, who's voting this morning,

teaching everyone they should
wake up early to fulfill the Mitzvah.

That's Rabbi Kanievsky's house,
we prayed here at dawn

and now the Rabbi, leader of
the Ultra-Orthodox sector, is going to vote.

Say that the Rabbi refused to eat,
he's fasting,

Get the people in the right mood...
-Yes, yes.

The Rabbi refused to eat?
-Right after prayers

he asked to leave, he's fasting.

I see.
-Because this is a troubled time.

Give the people some blood,
don't you get it?

If you want a scoop,
the Rabbi refused to eat

because this is a troubled time,

he said: "First go out and vote."

Something like that.

Who are you giving it to?

It's "Latest Scoops."
-Oh.

Good morning,

good morning.

It's 8:05, good morning, Bitan.

Good morning, Gruzman.

We're voting again this year...

And how we've waited!

How we've waited
to fulfill the Mitzvah

"do as you're instructed"

this morning

and the important message
we've received

from Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky,

our rabbi and master announced
that he's fasting,

he won't put a thing in his mouth

until he fulfills the Mitzvah
"do as you're instructed,"

voting for Gimel (the UTJ party).

No, Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky
isn't fulfilling the Mitzvah

"do as you're instructed,"
because he himself is the instructor.

The Rabbi is old, he's over 90,

he goes everywhere in a wheelchair,

but as hard as it is

he's voting to encourage everyone
to go out and fulfill the Mitzvah.

Where's room 119?

Come, come, come.

Excuse me.
-No one goes in before the Rabbi.

No reporters, no photographers.

Wait here.

Wait, wait, no violence...

The Rabbi's here.
-The Rabbi's here.

Close the door behind him.

No pushing!

What you're doing is forbidden.

That's forbidden.

What you're doing is forbidden.

Move the partition.

That's forbidden.

No, it's ok.

Once the giant of the generation
enters the voting booth there are no rules,

everyone must see
and photograph him

placing his Gimel ballot in the box
so it can be published

on WhatsApp and every possible way,
it's sanctifying God's name

and the prohibition on photographing,
secrecy of voting, etc. Recommendation only.

Yankie, get a blessing.

Bless Israel.

He's a Cohen,
he also wants a blessing.

For children, soon.

Blessing.
-Yes!

Rabbi Kanievsky

fulfills the Mitzvah
and votes for the UTJ party.

David, go in front
so he can drive away.

Go, go.

Where are you going, Rabbi Brunner?
-Where do you need to go?

To see MK Gafni vote.

I can drop you off.
-Great.

Whoa, it's hot.
-Yeah, it's hot today.

Mendy Bitan, Kan Moreshet,

and on we go.
We just received a message

that the master of Torah,
the Genius Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky

has already gone out and voted
near his house on Rashbam St...

Here with us is Rabbi Litzman,
Deputy Minister of Health.

We want Rabbi Litzman

to serve another term.

What positive message do you have
for our viewers?

We must increase voter turnout by 20%.

In the last elections
we didn't even reach 100%

within our sector.

So wake up, folks,

we want you raring to go,

it's essential.

Excellent.

I'm trying to brand
my statuses,

"You guys, you're watching
Shlomi Cohen's status," but...

Next time.

There's another photographer here.

Election Day, and I'm Minister Litzman's
official photographer.

Whoa, turn on the AC.

It's a very busy day,
starting at 8:30

with him voting,
then visiting the headquarters.

North,

south,

loads of Ultra-Orthodox photographers
wish they were instead of me

and it's a great honor for me

to accompany him today.

Minister Litzman is basically
the Gur Hassidim's representative

to the United Torah Judaism party.

Five years ago I had a little...

run-in with the Gur Rebbe.

There was a conference of Agudath Israel's
Council of Torah Sages

and I was told by the Gur Hassidim
not to take the Rebbe's picture.

Suddenly the Rebbe arrived
and I found myself

right next to him,

I held up my camera
and the Rebbe went...

And I was thrilled with the photo,
it's a rare image,

one you don't see every day,

and I published the photo

and it went viral on all the social media

and Kikar HaShabbat
put it on the front page.

The sect was very mad at me.

I realized I'd made a mistake,
I apologized,

and that's why being next to
Minister Litzman

is such a great honor.

Here's the cemetery.
We should get these people out...

They already voted.
-Right, they already voted.

Our friend Shimon Liberty,
writer for Shas's HaDerech newspaper,

brought up an interesting point.
He asked the question:

When do you fulfill
the Mitzvah?

When you vote

or when your vote is being counted?

It's obviously

when your vote is counted,
because if you vote now

and your party didn't get in,
you didn't fulfill the Mitzvah.

Yes, and when in doubt, one is lenient.
-But there's a bigger problem.

If you vote for a party that gets in

but it's signed a deal of spare votes
with another party,

you aren't fulfilling the Mitzvah
"do as you're instructed"

vis-à-vis your sages

because your vote goes to
the other party's sages

so it isn't "do as you're instructed."

If you have something to say,
dial 059-

663-991...

But not while you're driving.
-No.

Especially not

on a day like today.

No, because, one,

you should keep the Mitzvah
"don't endanger yourself" every day,

but today we'd lose a vote as well.

Now I always travel
with a driver or by taxi

because I had my license suspended

for talking on the phone.

That's the hardest part
because I was used to driving

while texting and corresponding
on WhatsApp.

Now I'm stuck.

It's hard.

That's nonsense, don't publish it.

The poll at Beit Yaakov School
at 27 Orlean St., Bnei Brak.

Where's the Orlean School?
Here?

Yes.

I think I was here once,
it's over there.

Okay, good luck.

See you later, Eli.
-Good luck.

Is this 27 Orlean St.?

No.

This is Kehilot Yaakov.

Where's Orlean St.?

Parallel to this street.
Go out here,

turn left and you're there.

Got it, buddy?
Two blocks over.

You mean one block.

No, first it's HaShomer,
then Orlean.

Geez...

I'm not used to this,
I'm used to driving.

My car is like my home.

Kid, where's Orlean?

Orleans Street.

You don't know?

Beit Yaakov School.

Oh, there?

Only if you vote Gimel.
-Of course.

Oy, what can I say?

Geez.

Did you see my interview
with Bibi Netanyahu?

Yes. Very powerful.

Did you like it?

Sure.

How many views?

Whoa. A thousand views.

Did you see my interview
with Bibi?

Sure.
-Brilliant, huh?

My "stories" and statuses
on the social media

are very important now.

I can't say people hire me
because of them

but when you do this

and add a little color
with your questions,

your vibe, your selfies,
your expressions,

your hair,
among all the Hassidim,

it's nice and it's fun.

Gentlemen, I thought
by 10:00 we'd have reached

100% and we could work on
our competitors.

I see we're far from it.

We have to say...

Gevalt! (God, help!)

We're waiting for MK Gafni
to come and vote.

I have a complicated relationship
with Gafni.

Gafni was at a private event

where he spoke about the Shabbat affairs
and his relations with Netanyahu

and I published it and it went viral
and made waves.

From that, Gafni learned
that the media can sabotage you,

not literally, of course.

But we learned to get along.

Good morning, Moishe.

Good morning.

Well?

Rabbi Gafni, with today's elections,
do you want to call on the public

to stop being complacent?
-Yes, these elections are crucial,

the great Torah sages
have stated unconditionally

that everyone should vote.

I hope we reach 100% turnout.

Thank you.

The Haredi politicians
have a love-hate relationship

with the websites.

Until recently they didn't even
recognize them officially

and wouldn't grant
official interviews.

Naturally it's easier
with a partisan newspaper

that only reports positive things

and ignores everything else.

The Orthodox internet and radio
brought political conflicts to the surface.

Gafni doesn't always agree with Litzman,
neither always agrees with Deri,

this suddenly becomes apparent,

but now there are new politicians
who have WhatsApp,

some are members
of journalists' groups.

Litzman and Gafni
can barely use text messaging.

Litzman has a "kosher"
(pre smartphone era) phone,

he only knows "end" and "send."

See? Look.

I just Tweeted

about Rabbi Kanievsky voting.

When I post these things
I don't think about the consequences

because as Ultra-Orthodox
we all want to see

how the Rabbi voted,

that's why we went into the voting booth,

to see him fulfill the Mitzvah,

but from the civil, secular
point of view,

other people on Twitter,
the media,

and non-Orthodox tastemakers,

they see it as wrong

that they removed the partition.

"You call this democracy?"
"Is this how they vote in Bnei Brak?"

People are angry... whatever.

Actually, I wasn't prepared for this,
but here with us is the Prime Minister.

What do you have to say
to the viewers?

I say: Go out and vote,
vote for Likud,

Election Day has begun...

But after this I said:

with all due respect to Bibi,
I'm voting Gimel.

Vote Likud.

Regardless of... In our yeshiva,

the trend toward United Torah Judaism and...

Because some of the guys don't...

one wants to vote Zehut,

one, the Cannabis party,
one, Jewish Power,

because they may not get in,

but then my rabbi comes along
and says:

"I'm your rabbi"
and everyone listens to him

and so do I.

I went to vote at 7 a.m.

complying is the foundation
of the Ultra-Orthodox faith.

commenting? complying.

What's an Ultra-Orthodox?

One who obeys the rabbis.

You're absolutely right.

Today is Election Day.
I actually dared to write

on my personal Facebook profile

that, officially,

I'm not voting for an Ultra-Orthodox party.

I won't write that on Behadrei Haredim website
because to write a personal opinion

that totally contradicts
the ethos of my employer

is out of place.

It's caused a lot of trouble.

Many people are contacting me

and texting and phoning me,
trying to find out what my story is.

I can't ignore the fact

that Ultra-Orthodox women
are badly represented.

If an Ultra-Orthodox MK

refuses to understand what an Ultra-Orthodox
woman has to deal with,

he can't represent me.

Why should an Orthodox woman
call me up, complaining

that if she demands sick leave

or sick pay, she'll be fired?

On one hand, she has to support
a husband who only studies Torah,

on the other hand,
she can't make a decent living

because someone's oppressing her.

I'm sorry, that isn't Orthodox behavior.

But to tell me:
"A woman can't run for Knesset

"because it isn't religious enough,"

I refuse to accept that.

It sounds like there are hidden motives
and I can't accept that.

Orthodox women need representation.

As long as they don't have
fair representation

I can't vote for their party.

I'm off to vote.

Some 1.200 people see
my posts on WhatsApp

and another 1.000 on Instagram.

I reach 2.200 or 2.500 people.

By the way, the videos are also

on WhatsApp groups.
That's important.

These days the internet
is powerful, it reaches...

lots of people.
-Bibi works the internet, too.

He does live broadcasts
all day long.

I'm not sure, but...

I follow the trend.
-Not sure about what?

That's it's the only way.

These days...

But if you advertise in HaModia

the readers already vote Gimel.

Yated Ne'eman readers
already vote Gimel.

You need to reach
the undecided voters.

But in my yeshiva, thank God,

about 85% of the guys voted Gimel.

For sure.

Well, Mendy, are we going to vote?

Off we go to vote, masters and teachers...

I see you're excited about
fulfilling the Mitzvah.

Now we'll end with a song
by Meilech Kohn,

"Pull Me After You, Let's Run,"

because the parties are running,

as they say: "Run like a deer
to do God's will."

"Pull Me After You, Let's Run,"
Meilech Kohn.

Bye for now.

Pull me after you, let's run

Pull me after you, let's run

Pull me after you, let's run

Pull me after you, let's run

Pull me after you, let's run

The King has brought me to his chambers

We'll say how God's loving is sweeter than wine

Truly have they loved you

We'll say how your loving is sweeter than wine

Truly have they loved you

We'll say how your loving is sweeter than wine...

Who's on the line?
Itamar Ben Gvir, hello.

Hello, hello.

Itamar, how much you wanna bet

you don't get in?
-How much that he does?

He won't.

But if he thought you'd get in

he'd help you, wouldn't he?

On Kol BaRama Radio

I'm the political commentator

and on Election Day
we work full time.

Yaakov Grodka, thank you.
Israel Cohen, thank you, too.

Go out and vote. Bye for now.

Follow me.

Kol BaRama started
an internet TV station.

It's something new.

People say:
I'm on the internet anyway,

so what's the problem?
So I'll see it on video.

Do we have an item
calling for high voter turnout?

All the top politicians have been here,
secular and religious.

It's new and there's no knowing
where it'll go,

and I gather Radio Kol Chai
has a similar studio.

The True Results,

Kol Chai's elections broadcast

presented by Avi Mimran.

An unprecedented, massive production
for live viewing.

Wow...

How's the first impression?

The b*mb.

It's real-live TV.
We're used to radio.

High class.

Awesome.

When Orthodox radio stations compete,

naturally there's competition
for interviews, trying to get there first,

doing what the others do,

imitating the others.

That's how it is in the media.

I did my makeup at home.

My wife is one of the best.

Radio Kol Chai said:
Okay, let's use cameras.

We can't listen to
transistor radios forever.

Estie, which tie should I go with?

He wants to film me for a promo.

So maybe one station
has one kind of studio

and another has a different kind

and one has one kind of commentator

and another has a different kind,

but in the end we'll all tell people
to vote for the same party.

He doesn't want to reveal the studio
but he wants to sh**t a promo.

I can stand here.
Listen...

Hold on. Can I sit here?
-No!

No, Avi!

Point the camera down here.

The studio still shows.

If the studio shows,
there's no point.

It isn't clear.
-Then there's no point.

What do you want from me?
-Sit next to this screen...

Trust me.

They do this on Broadcast TV.
-Okay, got it.

What do you want him to say?
-I know what to say. -Great.

Hello, everyone. Everyone's in suspense.
Will Netanyahu get 61 seats?

How about Shas?
UTJ?

We're also in suspense
as to how you'll react

to Radio Kol Chai's new video studio,

thank God.

That "God willing..."

God willing, tonight at 9
and into the night. Be with us.

Excellent.
-Yeah.

But the chairs are annoying.

I'm sitting too low.

Assaf, here's what we'll do.

In the waiting room

there are some cheap gray chairs.

Take a screwdriver,
take off all the seats

and put a seat on each chair here.

Raise me by about 10 cm.

Right now we're circus midgets.

Okay.

That's it, right?

Let's pray that this works.

Hear, O Israel,

the Lord is our God,

the Lord is one.

Unscrew the seats
of all these chairs

and put one on each chair.

There are lots of chairs
you can take the seats from here, too.

These are the options.

This is the blue one,
this is the red one.

I like the red.
-Alright.

You have red with...
-This is the red one but it's too loud.

Whoa, do that to everyone.

I like watching the different channels
as I broadcast

because they show
everyone's political identity.

You see everyone's faces

and even the great,
experienced commentators

find it hard to keep a straight face.

The screen shows the polls and you see,

this is the radical left, this is the moderate left,
this is the left, this is the center-left

and this is Amit Segal.

Unlike all the other media,
everybody knows how we're voting,

what we identify with,
I don't have to be ashamed,

I don't have to hide it.

We don't even have a mirror here.

Nice.

You say that Shas

made Sephardi Jewry strong again?

Yes, but it isn't Shas,

it's Rabbi Ovadia.

The only reason Sephardi Orthodox Jews
vote is:

"Do as you're instructed,"
Rabbi Shalom Cohen, and that's it.

When I go to party headquarters,
like Shas,

it's all about color.

I'm fascinated to see
the sparkle in their eyes,

if they're enthused,
if they're lackadaisical.

You feel the color.

Do an impression for us.

Amir Peretz from the Labor party.

Folks, it's all a ruse...

Wait, the moustache.
-Dear gentlemen,

here's what I have to say.

We're taking steps to...
I hope...

I cried out against the Arabs
who flocked to the polls.

Lieberman, Lieberman.
-Lieberman.

Folks, I suggest that everyone get together

and study the Torah portion...

Someone writes that in Mea Shearim
there's 100% voter turnout.

That's 20% less
than in the last elections.

Let's go in.
-Good luck, buddy.

Thanks, buddy.

I ask just one thing of you.

You've seen the studio,

try not to pick your noses.
-Not pick our noses?

No, not your ears, either, they see everything.
-Then let us do it now.

Can I start? -Just a sec.
-Good luck.

Estie, can we pick our noses
a little at the beginning?

How's it going?
-Ready?

On your count.
-Three, two, one, you're on.

We're on.

Turn it on.
-May God grant us success.

Turn on the microphone.

Hello and good evening,

Radio Kol Chai's election broadcast,

and here we go.
Good evening and welcome.

Israel's voting stations are still open,
we're a long way from the final results

but just an hour from the various samplings,

you have one last hour

to go out and fulfill

the Mitzvah "do as you're instructed"

and in the last minute enter

your vote to the votes
of the Israeli electorate.

I'm trying to create a women's section,
you may have noticed.

Lieberman's recent hatred of us...

Friends, let's calm down.

And the dissemination of...
-Let's calm down. -What have we come to?

What didn't we give Lieberman?

Just a second... Friends!

Okay, we're taking a short break

and we'll be right back.

We'll be back in two minutes.

Stay with us.

Friends, I'm begging you!

Stop interrupting!
All they hear is blah-blah-blah!

Shh... Dear friends,

48.700 people are watching you.

Watching! -How many?
-48.000.

Guys, this isn't radio.

I can direct the conversation,
to you, to you.

Yes, Yehuda, yes, Yaakov,
yes, Yitzhak, yes, Yossi.

But keep it brief
and don't interrupt each other,

it'll be great.

I don't think Netanyahu

will dump the Ultra-Orthodox too quickly,

he's learned to respect them.

Thanks, bye,

good night.

Good evening once again,

we're back with Radio Kol Chai's
election broadcast.

In less than 15 minutes,
the sample results,

the voting booths are still open.

Avi, call on the public,
whoever hasn't voted yet,

hurry out and vote.
-We keep saying that.

Hurry out and vote,
you have 15 more minutes.

We have figures from
several voting stations...

At events like Election Day
I don't like to just sit there and report.

I like to hear what they say backstage.

To hear what the politicians
really think.

What they said on stage
I can get later

is not the big scoop.

Is Itzik Vaknin there?
-I don't know if they came this way.

Ask him if he's interested.

You can't come in.
-Okay. Should I text him?

Yes, I want an interview
with Itzik Vaknin.

I spoke...
-He isn't granting interviews.

Why not? -You need my permission
and it's only through there.

Don't stand here.
-I beg your pardon?

Okay...

"You scheduled with one spokesman,
not with me..."

Uri, for your information,

"You scheduled with Barak Seri, not me..."
-We aren't the ones.

We're in charge of the media here.
-I've known Barak Seri

since before you were born.
-True, but you scheduled

with Aryeh's spokesman
and we're the campaign spokesmen.

So?
-This isn't the campaign,

it's not our job.
-Don't expect journalists

to know your secret burrows.

Okay...

I've never been treated
like this before.

I'll have to Tweet.

Shas campaign spokesmen:

"We'll kick you out.

"This has never happened to me.
Maybe it's time to quit."

The point of this kind of Tweet

is for the spokesmen
you get along with to read it

and chew out the naughty spokesmen.

A Tweet can sometimes
straighten things out.

And it keeps things lively.

They want you and your crew
to go outside. -To where?

Outside. Out of here.

Okay.
-Now.

We'll leave.

We'll have the samplings
in just a minute.

Stay with us, we'll read
all the samplings in order.

We'll have the samplings in 10 seconds.

We'll begin with the Channel 13 sampling.

Shas gets 8 seats
only on Channel 12's sampling

because Channels 13 and 11
give Shas 9 seats.

Were there screens out here?

No. Are you in charge?

No, I'm a reporter.

A reporter? -Yes.

There was a media area here.

There was no women's section?
-No.

Did you have closed circuit TV?

Through the gate.

Oh, here?

We didn't see.
-Nothing?

They stood here and couldn't see.

But they aren't angry
as you can see.

Orthodox women know the rules
and obey the rules.

It's taken for granted.

Folks, unfortunately,
we'll say it here and now,

right now the Ultra-Orthodox parties
are in big trouble.

Rabbi Deitsch.
-I'm very afraid.

I'm worried that we've been given walnuts

but our teeth have been taken away.
-Okay.

"...God who kept us and sustained us

"and brought us to this time."

I take none of the credit,

but the newspaper definitely gave

a tailwind

to the Shas chairman,

created a mood here,

and we tried to report things
positively

and, thank God, we see the results.
I'm happy tonight,

we're all happy here,
we'll be dancing

and Shas won.
That's the headline: Shas came out the winner.

Here.

See the sticker? A Shofar.

Who did you vote for?

There was a partition...

Here.

I started working on a report

about what happens
in rabbis' homes behind the scenes.

We're too silent

about things that
everyone's talking about.

I'm Efrat Finkel, 26, from Bnei Brak,
and I'm single.

Someone once described me as
"an Orthodox who speaks fluent Secular."

We're going to air
the Ultra-Orthodox sector's dirty laundry.

You're going to air the dirty laundry, okay?

You want us to stoop to
social media comments?

You can't ignore the fact
that that's what people are talking about.

I'm researching the topic of discrimination
against Sephardi girls in seminaries.

When I spoke about regional enrollment

I was pressured, even threatened.

What are we fighting for?

Respect for God.

I want my picture from here

to be in Yated Ne'eman.

You'll see to that? Will I get credit?

I'm a thinking person

and sometimes I have an opinion.

I can't see

who's on the podium.

You don't belong here! Beat it!

Don't you sometimes want to

turn the tables?

It's a great honor...

Oh, no!

Standing by your truth
and burning the house down?

Help, help! That way!

Be careful! Watch out!
