01x04 - Episode 4

[bunniefuu]

We put Itzik in the front

and I use my position
as a media personality

to advance special education
in the Ultra-Orthodox sector.

I started working on a report
about intrigues in rabbis' homes.

These things frighten me.

They can easily get out of hand.

The Ultra-Orthodox aren't supposed
to serve in the IDF.

The agreement between the Orthodox
and the government is no more.

One side violated the agreement
and started drafting men by coercion.

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

When I spoke about
regional enrollment

I was pressured, even threatened.

By whom?

As long as United Torah Judaism is
in the coalition it won't pass.

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

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

People always talk about
who sits next to Rabbi Kanievsky.

Just sitting next to the leader

gives you power.

I'm here to fight for my ideals,
my values.

They don't want women there.

They don't want me

anywhere.

You have stories on WhatsApp
and Instagram

that aren't always right for your clientele.

So it's because of my stories?

Shlomi, you're paying the price
for your stories,

you can't have your cake and eat it.

We're checking out the pre-Succot atmosphere
in Meah Shearim,

it's almost Yom Kippur
so there's also the Kapparot (atonement ritual),

so we're going to film the Kapparot.

I'm against the idea,

I'd rather donate money
than k*ll chickens,

it's a real mess,
but on the other hand

I'm a photographer and
it's fascinating and fun

to capture these moments.

What's up, Chaim?
-How's it going?

How's it going?
-What's up?

Got the flash?
-I'm all ready.

Let's go get into

the Kapparot mood.

What if a chicken jumps on me?

Folks, we're here in the kasbah
of Meah Shearim

where dozens of chickens
are going to be slaughtered today.

Move, sweetie.

It's a scary, unpleasant business.

Ew, I thought that was a chicken.

But it's a Mitzvah,
there's a reason for it.

It's in the Torah,
I don't know where,

or the Talmud or somewhere,

to atone for sins
by k*lling chickens.

I donate money instead.

The slaughter is the most
important part, Shlomi.

Horrifying.

One of the first calls

In my report on Sephardi girls

there's a father whose daughter
wasn't admitted to a seminary

and he's fighting the decision
as best he can.

Yes?

Hello, this is Efrat Finkel,
I'm a reporter for BaKehila News.

I'm doing a report

on discrimination against
Sephardi girls in seminaries.

I could tell you things
you won't hear

anywhere else
and you won't believe your ears.

Believe it or not,

the Ministry of Education
supports the discrimination,

encourages the discrimination.

Tell me why.

Because it wants industrial peace.

As long as the Ministry of Education
has its peace,

the Sephardi girls can weep.

I got the number of a bigwig
at the Ministry of Education

who knows all about
seminary registration.

As someone who's involved
with these things,

can you tell me exactly how it works?

Registration begins in 7th grade,

that's called "secret registration"

where they register

about 90% of the girls,

and the girls who aren't accepted

are officially tested and registered
in 8th grade

but that's only for the record.

They don't really stand a chance.

If you want to be the best school
you'll accept the best students.

What does it matter if they're Sephardi?

What I'm telling you now,

people didn't want to believe.

A girl who really is smart

and passed the admission exam...
-Okay.

but she happens to be Sephardi,

how can they reject her?

They call her in for an oral exam
without warning.

A teacher bent on failing her comes in,

she bombards her with questions,

and the poor, unprepared girl fails.

Then people need to hassle
the Ministry of Education,

why don't the parents get together
and attack the Ministry of Education?

As an Orthodox woman you know

that if a father complains to the Ministry of Education
he'll be ostracized,

he'll have trouble
marrying off his kids.

He'll be ostracized by both
Sephardi and Ashkenazi society.

That's why.

Okay, but if a few fathers get together

they can attack as a group.

It's been this way for 50 years,

it's not about to change.

So we just bow to the injustice?

We have no partners.
-So what are you saying?

"Drop it, you won't change anything"?

Don't waste your time.

You'll only cause blasphemy
and make it worse.

Drop it.

Bye.

When we talk about information

and covering what happens backstage
in the great rabbis' homes

we aren't talking about protocols

because there are no protocols.

You need to find out
how things were run.

Who visited the rabbi,

what exactly was said to him
and what exactly the rabbi said.

It's all hearsay.

When we try to get information

it's usually from people

who have some role in the house

but the role isn't political
or important or rabbinical.

Why would they talk to you?

They have a vested interest.

They say: I see how things are run,

it bothers me and I want you
to publicize it because it's important.

And I'm meeting one of these people.

Have you been in Rabbi Chaim's
house recently?

I know what I'm saying
because I was in the house,

behind the scenes.

He's absolutely cut off from reality,
out of choice.

He consciously escapes to Torah study

around the clock,
every waking moment.

His routine answer
to people who ask how he's doing is:

"You're disturbing my studies."

He isn't into being a leader.

Not at all.

We're lacking in leadership,

not to underestimate the greatness
of Rabbi Kanievsky,

that has nothing to do with it.

But if our sector
wants to be responsible,

and when it comes to specific points,

the draft, education, whatever,

there has to be someone to go to
who takes responsibility

and gives long, detailed answers

and reassures the public.

In the Ultra-Orthodox society
the rabbi dictates everything.

Which rabbi?
The "Giant of the Generation."

The "Giant's" home
is at the top of the pyramid

and he's also in the middle
and the bottom of the pyramid,

he's really the whole pyramid.

He has the last word.

No arguments and no appeals.

So if we cover the pyramid,
i.e. Ultra-Orthodox society,

that's what we have to cover,

from a place that accepts
his authority,

not criticizes it.

Are people today more likely to say:

"They don't tell him everything"?
Which was always said, but...

That's true,

and if someone tells you
it doesn't bother him,

either he was never in Rabbi Chaim's house
or he's lying

because people know that things
aren't always done in a kosher way

or by direct instruction
by the Rabbi himself,

there's a whole industry around him
which is why there's a leadership crisis,

no doubt about it.

Does that leave an opening?

That he doesn't want to delve into things?
That you can do as you please?

When there's a fog surrounding
very important issues

there's more room for crooks
to squeeze into the picture.

No question.

"Selichot at the Kotel
begins with Entrecote"?

Disgusting.

The crude association
with Selichot (atonement prayers),

and at the Kotel (Western Wall), no less?

Disgusting.

Don't mix sacred and profane.

You want to eat? Go eat.

But to put meat over
a picture of the Kotel?

People have lost their minds.

Itzik.

Itzik.

Give me an ad suitable
for Orthodox papers,

the ad from HaModia,

I don't want...

Selichot at the Kotel
don't begin with Entrecote.

The Western Wall Plaza,
the High Holy Days.

The Jewish year begins
and there's no better place to be than the Kotel.

Everyone does things

that they regret later,

be it photography
or personal things.

You didn't respect your family,
you didn't do enough,

you didn't try to do more,

you have to ask forgiveness
for that, too.

I'm going to...

look for a piece of paper.

Do you have

a blank piece of paper?

And I'm glad I'm able to
pray at the Kotel,

to set my camera aside

and know I'm standing before God,

before our Father in Heaven
who listens to me.

The emotional, soulful songs

that you sing in places like this.
it...

Who's that?

There's a crowd over there,

who is that?

Bezalel.

Bezalel, we love you.

Minister, you know,
I follow you on Twitter.

Is there any solution
for the entrance to my neighborhood?

Today we finally reached
an agreement with the JNF

to open the forest road.

See? This photo...

tells the story of the prayer.

We have an Ultra-Orthodox man,
and Minister Smotrich, reciting "Hear, O Israel,"

and an Ethiopian next to him.

In the end we all share the same God.

The photo is supposed to move you

and that's my job
as a photographer to do it right.

I'm currently working
on an article

about sexual consultancy,

about an Ultra-Orthodox woman
sex consultant.

Of course we don't use
that terminology, God forbid.

I call myself a "relationship
and marriage trainer."

"Relationship" includes interpersonal

and inter-gender relations.

We're working on an article
to make people aware

that such a thing exists.

But how do I write an article...?

We aren't trying to use this word or that,

we're trying to talk about it.

An Orthodox man supposedly
learned all these things in yeshiva,

the thing is, one day
these things are taboo

and the next day he's married...
-And he has to do

the most "forbidden" things.

And it's hard to make the transition.
-Right.

Lots of girls are traumatized by it,

and for good reason.
-And men, too.

Wow, I can have my way with her,
it's not easy.

Yeah.
-The abrupt transition from nothing

to full on everything.

Now I want to explain that
in the article.

In Exodus 21 it's written that a woman's food,
clothing and sexual needs

must not be denied.

"The man must make his wife happy

"and give her pleasure

"by fulfilling her physiological
and psychological needs."

The Torah actually commands men
to learn

how to speak, how to touch,

how to please,

and by "please" I mean... please.

I don't mean to be crude

but in rabbinic court
it's grounds for divorce.

"Before the sexual act
the man must say things to his wife

"that inflame her passion..."

Passion? I can't write "passion."

There's a whole lexicon of words
that can't be used.

For instance,

Ultra-Orthodox won't say "pregnancy,"
they'll say "in a situation."

A woman is "in a situation."

Underwear is "personal wear."

Women don't have periods.
You don't talk about it.

There is no sexual abuse
in Ultra-Orthodox society.

Not that there's no sexual abuse,
the term "sexual abuse" is nonexistent.

it's forbidden.

A non-religious reader
who logs onto an Orthodox website

and finds the headline
"Brutal attack in Bnei Brak"

will say: Brutal attack? What can that be?
Maybe a street fight,

maybe a stabbing.

An Orthodox reader understands that it's
a juicy story about a V.A.T felony.

In Orthodox lingo, V.A.T means
very awful act. Sex crimes.

An Orthodox newspaper
wouldn't print that.

That's right.
-We both know that.

Don't write "passion,"
write "domestic harmony."

"Couple's harmony" is cute.

"Dance for Two."
What does that mean?

If I make "Dance for Two"
my headline

they'll eat me alive.

The point is to get rid of the elephant in the room
because when you refrain from saying it,

that's missing the point.

Put the elephant on the table

peel out the layers.

Don't talk about passion right away.

You've got a mighty tool here.

Plant the seeds carefully,

don't burst it all at once.

Bit by bit.
-That's what I'm trying to do.

I'd suggest starting with
one little seed

and seeing how it goes over.

You can talk about anything,

the question is how, not what.

Yes, it really is a matter of...

keeping domestic harmony.

You asked me if you should do this
and I say no, you must.

Hello.

Is this Itzik's classroom?

Wow.

Hello, Itzik.

What's this? An animal workshop?

Look, they're playing with rabbits
and feeding them.

Itzik, tell me what you're doing.

Feeding her.
-What are you feeding her?

What's she eating?
-Cucumber.

Our son Itzik is almost 17.

Itzik was born with low-functioning autism,
it's kind of severe.

Severe, not "kind of."

What's her name?

How about Shoshie?

could be Shoshie?

As he grew up

and his needs grew, too,

we realized what a big gap
there is in this area.

The Ultra-Orthodox sector doesn't have
a special school for autistic kids,

there are no organizations.

I want to put you live on the air now,
are you ready?

Yes.

When Itzik was 8 or 9

I got a group of parents
of autistic children together

and we opened a school
which now has 120 kids.

Someone's calling you.

Yes, those are listeners calling,
asking how you're doing.

Thank God.

And we see the results,

kids who couldn't speak at all
are starting to talk,

kids who couldn't read
and can now read.

Thank you.

Kids who are overcoming
behavioral issues.

Come into the synagogue.
There you go.

Sit down.

Pinny.

Pinny.

Netanel. -Pinny.
-Happy New Year.

How are you?
-Hello, Avi.

Pinny.
-How's it going?

Fine, Avi...

We're now facing
a difficult phenomenon,

intolerable, even.

A constant dwindling
of the government budget

for special education
in the Ultra-Orthodox sector.

It's bringing the schools
to the verge of bankruptcy

and it's the kids who suffer.

Beep-beep.

Beep-beep.

You hear the cars honking?

Sit down nicely.

I'll turn on the AC.

Itzik, are you okay?

Itzko?

Where are we going?

That way.

That way?
And where will we end up?

That way.

Chairman of the Finance Committee,
MK Rabbi Moshe Gafni,

the topic of special education.

Pardon me for bringing it up again,
I know it...

gets on your nerves sometimes,
but still,

we deserve an explanation.

I have no money.

The Treasury didn't make a request.
-Rabbi Gafni...

We received no request.
-MK Rabbi Gafni,

Chairman of the Finance Committee,
dozens of Orthodox schools

struggle to pay salaries every month,

you know that,

and I'm asking,
hasn't the time come

to force the Treasury
to find the money?

I promise you,
I'm doing everything I can.

Let's agree on this:
If you make the effort and find a source

for the money,
you'll fight for it.

Naturally.
-Alright...

Finance Committee Chairman
MK Rabbi Moshe Gafni,

thank you very much.

This is hands on Tashlich custom.

Did you bring prayer-books?

The Jews have a custom
between Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur,

you throw all your sins
into the sea

and say: "We don't want you,
you aren't part of us,

"you're our mistakes."

Journalists may have

a few more sins
than other people.

Here.

Yuck, I sank into the sand.

Throwing is fun.

But what did you throw?

Whom did you throw?

Whom? I should name names
right before Yom Kippur?

Efrat is in the media...
-She's going to tell on me.

And she has a lot to get rid of.

Remember that thing
on my radio show?

"Whoever wants to uphold
all the religious laws regarding gossip

"shouldn't work in the media

"because journalism
is a gossipy profession."

When I heard that I said to myself,

I knowingly chose a profession

that could drag me into a place
where I can't really obey

all sorts of religious laws.

When I met Efrat I admired her
because I thought

it's amazing that there's
someone like her,

a single girl who puts her persona
out there for all to see.

Because she's single?
-Never mind the media,

to put your persona...

Are you afraid I'm ruining my chances
of getting married?

I think it's uncommon.

Do you seriously want a yeshiva boy?
-I want a yeshiva boy.

That may be the saddest issue

in my life

because I want that so badly,

I see Torah study
as the highest priority...

Not just the highest priority,
the only priority.

It came as a real blow
this past year,

so many people asked me:
"You're looking for a yeshiva boy?

"How does that make sense?"

I mocked the first person,
I mocked the second person,

I dismissed the third person,

and by the fourth person I thought...

Maybe I'm being ridiculous,

maybe they see something
I can't see.

Maybe I'm living in a bubble,

looking for someone
who'll never want me.

I'm starting to realize

that a girl who writes for a newspaper
under her own name

and does something that no
single Orthodox girl did before,

projects something provocative
that doesn't reflect me, by the way,

that isn't...

that isn't me at all.

You may not be exactly
the studious type, but...

in your soul you're a yeshiva girl.

I really, really hope

I'll marry a really nice guy

who's very God-fearing and...

will have the emotional intelligence

to accept conflicts and dissonances

and to say "I see who you are
and I'm fine with...

"your complexity."

Whoa, I'm covered in sand.

Yeah, me too.

Yossi!

What's up?

Yaki, why don't you say hello?

Forgot my name?

Say "happy holiday."

Ready, Kfar Chabad?

I grew up in Kfar Chabad
(an Orthodox village).

Today is Simchat Beit HaShoeva
in every religious-Orthodox community,

there's music and dancing
and partying.

Of course it's happening here, too.

I love coming to Kfar Chabad
when there's a big event and everyone's outside.

You meet the whole family,

you meet lots of friends.

It's a chance to see and be seen.

I'm not married yet,
you can snoop around,

check out a possible match.

Mendy, do you want to dance?

What?
-You want to dance?

Already? Chill, Chaim.

Chaim Brod is a good friend
from back in the yeshiva, we were roommates.

Sometimes I think it's my fault
you aren't married. -Why?

We gave out each other's numbers.

Right. -You recommended me.
You must've said good things.

Maybe I didn't too good.
-No, no.

He's married now
and I've moved on

and we're still good friends

and since he stuck to the path
more than I did,

he doesn't make trouble,
he lives in Kfar Chabad,

his opinions matter to me.

You have a unique product

and you can change trends
within the sector,

all sorts of injustices,

and you mainly deal in gossip.

As I see it. -No...
-The gossip is interesting, but...

Look,

the Torah doesn't prohibit
asking questions,

whether great rabbis
really know what's happening

or if wheeler-dealers
are feeding them information.

We do talk about those things.

There's no...
-You undermine their authority,

you equate them with everyone else.

The thing is, ultimately..

we talk about things
everyone's talking about.

You're comparing private conversations

to public broadcasting.
-No, I'm saying that's the bar.

Are those the wrongs
the public should know about?

Maybe, but there are so many
other things.

You're in love with your niche, but...

It's a subject that...

includes a thousand things

which are justified by
"the Rabbi said so."

Including sexual abuse
that was hidden for years

because "the rabbis said so."

What's the change you want to see?

There's no way to manage this sector
without unquestioning faith

and obedience toward the rabbi.

Okay, then let's shut down the media.

No, I'm talking about
this specific issue.

You're obsessed with it.

I want to be a journalist,
I'm happy...

They'll shut you out of
the rabbis' houses,

you won't get responses
about anything,

you're walking into a minefield,

I don't want to say "blasphemy"

but this may be blasphemy.

You say "the rabbi doesn't know,
he's being manipulated"

and you pull the rug out from under

the people who want to
obey the rabbis.

I'm going to pick up
my daughter Hadas,

she gets out of school now.

Hadas transferred
to a religious public school,

she left Beit Yaakov
orthodox school this year.

Heya. -Hi.

How was school?

Okay.

We just had a science test.

Okay, about what?

I dunno... density plus volume.

Did you have science class
at Beit Yaakov?

No.

Do you realize I never studied science?

I grew up in a nationalist-religious town.

My parents wanted the air
of Samaria

and there was no Orthodox town there

so they moved to a regular religious town,
they didn't care.

Girls there wore pants

and all my neighbors had TVs
so I knew what TV was,

but when I was six
we moved to an Orthodox town.

First grade, Beit Yaakov.

Overnight - full-length
stockings and sleeves,

the whole Beit Yaakov outfit.

How you looked was a huge issue.

Then I wrote something anonymously,

I wasn't as gutsy as I am now,

I wrote a feedback to the principal

saying I felt I was being taught
how to look Orthodox

but not how to be Orthodox.

In honor of my picking you up,

I promised we'd do
something together, and...

Yeah.

I bought all the ingredients
for gluten-free pancakes.

Yay!

Ayalush...

Okay?

At my last school
I was judged by my looks.

If my stockings went
above my knees

and I wore a long skirt
and a uniform blouse

I was perfect and well-mannered,

and now it doesn't matter
what I wear,

I'm not wearing stockings,

but I'm still as pious
and acceptable...

You're treated for who you are,

not what you look like.

When I went into first grade
my family moved to an Orthodox town,

nobody asked me,
"Do you want to move?"

Why didn't you ask your mother
not to move?

I did as I was told.

Right.
-I didn't know anything else.

Now you're doing the opposite.

You're taking the opposite route
to the one I took,

but you're making an educated choice
and I think that's amazing.

Thank God.

Last ones...

Ariel, honey.
-What?

Come, we're having pancakes.

And at the same time,
my eldest son...

Come, sweetie.

He asked to go to a yeshiva
where they only wear black and white,

hat and suit,
the classic Ultra-Orthodox image.

You use disposable, right.

He said, "This is what I want."

Bon appétit, sweetie.

My yeshiva scholar.
Torah study is exhausting.

Let's go.

Here's a big ant.

That's right.

Hello.

Oh, here's Mommy.

The fact is, we're religious Jews

and we believe that
someone is running the world

and everything has
a specific reason.

It's like a web address.

If you add a dot
you'll be sent to a different site.

What? -Look.

Look at me. You see?

Yes. -What's that?

We believe that Itzik was sent
to my wife and me on purpose

because we know how to raise him

and we're waging,
on behalf of him and his friends,

this whole battle for special education
in the Orthodox sector.

I've been involved in it
for 17 years

and the person
who keeps me going

is my son who can't talk.

He keeps me going without words.

I keep seeing things
that make me think of possible laws,

I think of a law

and the next day I say on the radio:
"I have an idea for a bill,"

then I bring on a Knesset member
who says, "I'll take that on"

and suddenly the law passes.

You wonder, "Did that really
begin on the radio?"

No, it began with Itzik.

Hello, Rabbi Gafni.

Thank God.

Tell me, what's the problem?

Let's try and solve it.

We've spent two rough years
dealing with this.

If the 40 million shekels
aren't transferred today

and we begin the 2020 fiscal year

that money is history.

Rabbi Gafni, we've known each other
for 20 years, I don't need any favors.

I can recruit Lapid from the opposition
and his people.

I spoke to Yair Lapid,
we both have autistic children,

and he said "we're with you"

although on the military service issue

he broke the deal between the government
and the Torah scholars,

as a result of which
I'm ashamed I do reserves service.

Rabbi Gafni, I want to motivate you

to start over again on this.

Special education takes precedence
over all personal gains.

Gafni tried to fight, but...

He can do better.

He could resolve this in a second
if he wanted to.

We have one more chance,

work with me and let's do it,

what's the problem?

If there's money,
I'll fight to make sure it's transferred.

Okay, we'll be in touch.

Bye.

Thanks.

Were you at the Kotel today?

Yes.
-And did you pray?

Yes.
-What did you ask God for?

"God, forgive me."

That's right, and what else?
-What else?

Pardon.

You asked God for forgiveness?

Yes. -For what?

Did you do something bad?

No. -No.

You've never done anything bad.

You have nothing to apologize for,
you know?

I know.

On Thursday evenings
I go to the souk to relax.

I work hard all week
and I need a little fun, too.

Don't you think so?

"אחת, שתיים, שלוש, לחיים!"

Whoa, whoa...

A happy New Year to all.
-Amen.

To our thousands of viewers.

Check this out.

This is getting crazy, dude,
Lord almighty!

Cheers, cheers.

"We have sinned before You,

"Have mercy on us..."

Shlomi...

From the first day of the festival.

Are you tired?
Did you work last night?

Yes, but thank God,
we have lots of energy.

My study partner
is Rabbi Zvi Ra'anan.

He's always there for me,
I tell him all my secrets.

We just began Tractate Ta'anit.

My birthday's coming up...

on 16 Kislev.

I want to finish the tractate
on my birthday.

Which is more important,
finishing the tractate or your birthday?

Showing people that
I spend my money

on my Torah study.

It's more important to show them
that you spend your time on it.

After that I'm flying to Vegas...

Hold on,

Are you going there
with or without your smartphone?

We need these things
for our soul.

You have every right to go.
You're an adult and you want to fly...

To Thailand.
-Wherever.

To Thailand or somewhere worse.

What place is worse?
-I don't know. -Ibiza?

Where's the view?

Check out this view!

Check out the pool!

You're an adult and you have
the right to go there.

But if you show everyone

on such a grand scale,

that's problematic.

You think I'm overdoing it?

Shlomi, would you want your children

to see that post 20 years from now?

No, you wouldn't.

Maimonides himself says whether...

Whether I should...
-Talk about the posts or not.

Maimonides says that you could
commit the same sin...

for instance...

smoking a cigarette on Shabbat,

and that isn't necessarily sacrilege.

What is sacrilege?

Desecrating the Sabbath in public.

When you do something in public

you hurt the one who sent you,
who created you.

God will forgive you
on Yom Kippur if you repent

as long as you weren't sacrilegious,

but if, God forbid,

you did it in a sacrilegious way,

that's also the sin of sacrilege

and it's held against you until you die

and only your death atones for it.

Yom Kippur doesn't
atone for sacrilege?

I have a feeling one drink

is far from enough.

It's that bad?

Yam and cheese arancini.

Thanks. -Thanks.

Wow, that looks good.

"Full of crap," "Pathetic,"

"A disgrace to the website,"

"Shame on you, Behadrei,
for having her as an editor,"

"Is the writer Ultra-Orthodox?"

"Idiotic article."

I wrote something
and they aren't addressing the content,

they're addressing me as a person.

If you wrote that...
-You can't be Orthodox.

Exactly.

To online comments!

To online comments!
-I think it only makes you stronger.

To positive online comments!

Throughout my media career
I've tried not to be too radical.

I didn't want demonstrations
outside my house,

I didn't want my kids to suffer.

Now I can write about something
that seems perfectly normal to me,

here, marital relations,

you know how many families
this could save?

But when you weigh that up against
your kids getting hurt?

Then I can't write about 80%
of these things.

Wow.

Whenever you touch on
a sensitive subject you spark a fire.

Why did I start reading comments again?

For years I didn't read the comments.

Because my kids are going to read

everything that was written about me.

If the comments make me
feel this bad,

if my 12-year-old daughter
logs onto an article,

and at the bottom she sees people
slandering me indiscriminately,

what...

what will it do to her?

And I see my son log on

and say, "Mom, I saw that
you wrote that..."

I'm not happy knowing
that he'll read:

"Shifi Haritan should be sued
for impersonating an Orthodox woman."

I'm going through an internal process,

becoming more Orthodox.

The Ultra-Orthodox seminaries
don't want to accept Sephardi girls

and I'm doing an exposé on that.

Take a loving grandmother's advice,

don't be provocative.

Avoid it like the plague.

Rabbi Kanievsky says,

despite the Health Ministry's orders

and the great risk...

Does Grandfather think

the elementary schools
should be closed because of the plague?

God forbid.

Members of Rabbi Kanievsky's
inner circle

said he met with professionals.

We now report that there was
no such meeting.

Why didn't they let doctors in?
Why did they lie?

Today, for the first time,

on the Kol BaRama Plus newscast,
we're going to have

a panel for women.

Greetings, ladies,

and welcome to
"You Only Get One Mother."

The main thing is,
be kind to yourselves, relax.

Imagine these are your children.

The finance committee
is going to pass a budget

of two billion shekels,

but when it comes to
autistic Haredi children

there's no money left.

Is Moshe Gafni stopping it?
-Ask him,

I can't answer that.
