[quote=Anonymous]How the ‘Shtisel Effect’ Impacts Today’s Haredi Community in Israel

https://jmoreliving.com/2020/02/04/how-the-shtisel-effect-impacts-todays-haredi-community-in-israel/

Pnina Pfeuffer is a social activist, writer, feminist, mother of two, Jerusalem resident and former political candidate who holds both a bachelor’s degree in liberal arts and a master’s degree in organizational behavior.

She’s also a Haredi,or ultra-Orthodox, Jew on a mission to help define what that concept means in amodern context.

“I am a ‘new Haredi,’” Pfeuffer said. “We make up 10 percent of Haredi Jews who want to engage with Israeli society and want an education from their society.”

Speaking to an audience of more than 100 on Jan. 30 at Owings Mills’ Gordon Center for Performing Arts, Pfeuffer joined Yehonatan Indursky, co-creator of the acclaimed Israeli TV drama series “Shtisel,” for the program, “On Screen and IRL: Shtisel and The New Haredim.”

The discussion was co-hosted by the New Israel Fund, a nonprofit committed to advancing and defending equal rights for all Israelis.

“Shtisel,” which premiered in Israel in June of 2013, follows the lives of a Haredi family living in the Jerusalem neighborhood of Geula. The show — which has won 17 Israeli Academy of Film and Television Awards — has become an international sensation by portraying Haredim in an everyday, universal light.

The first two seasons of “Shtisel” can be streamed on Netflix, and production has begun on a third season, which should be available on Netflix in about a year.

“Through the show, we have a window into this world that is unfamiliar to most,” said Libby Lenkinski, the New Israel Fund’s vice president of public engagement.  “We wanted to take the opportunity to talk about the real shifts and changes that are happening within that community. We want to integrate the activism individuals are doing in Israel with the openness people are feeling because of the cultural phenomenon that is ‘Shtisel.’”
