This is the only show I can think of that every time I try to describe it the word I come back to over and over is beautiful. It is many other things but the humor, the plot, the smartness of it, all comes back to beauty.

Ruchami husband hair curls not long never grow

1. What happened to the son wanting to be a singer in a band? He just gave it up bc he heard the story of the other singer who left his family?

2. What happened to the dog the patriarch kept for his grandson so it wasn’t put down?

3. I would have liked to have seen Akiva’s reaction to his dad burning the portrait of the nursing woman. After all, that was what reunited him with his wife/cousin.

4. When the patriarch loaned money to his brother, we never heard what happened. The brother said it would be short term and we know after he asked for half the lottery winnings he said he had nothing. his fiancé broke up with him he said he had nothing.

5. Didn’t you think the money Lippe invested (from naming his baby in exchange for $$) was a scam and yet he did get it back with profit and started the restaurant?

6. I didn’t like how rushami looked at camera when holding baby girl at the end. It broke that wall between us.

7. Odd patriarch seems to want kiva married badly and then does trash every relationship. He insisted his son try to make things work with his new wife and then said they should divorce.


Ruchami’s husband keeps his side curls behind his ears. Just a different style.
1. Zvi Arye gave it up because of the story about the guy leaving his family. He was too religious to take that risk.
2. Totally unanswered in the show, but in real life the actor that plays Shulem kept the dog. He’s alive and well. Apparently leaving loose ends is more common in Israeli shows. Srugim leaves loose ends, too.
3. Shulem doesn’t burn the painting of the nursing woman. It’s a painting of his wife and he covers her hair. It’s quite beautiful when you think of it, but also quite cruel. The burning paintings were in a dream in season 3, no? No paintings actually burned...
4. Nuchem is a scammer so often needs money. He’s shady. Shulem warned Nechama that he asked for half of what would have been donated to Shulem’s school, which threatened the relationship.
5. Lippe invested the money from the name and presents it at the end of Season 2, financing the restaurant. Their apartment was also much nicer this season.
7. Shulem is a control freak. He wants Kive married because it’s the respectable thing but he also doesn’t want to be alone.

I love this show so much!!!!


Yes, I agree. At first I though he just painted over her head at random. but when you watch it again .. not only he only covers her hair that is sticking outside the head covering, but also when you pay close attention you see how much he struggles in doing this.

It is a beautiful and sad yet powerful scene of him struggling with painting over his son masterpiece , his wife that he loves so much and yet he told us before how horrible Dvora. his wife felt when that one time with pwople over at their house, some of her hair was sticking out, ever so slightly that nobody noticed, yet she was devastated later at night when she discovered it. Shulem had to console her and reassure, yet she was unconsolable.

Remember that scene when Akiva forgot first time in his life to put tefelin on?

Similar emotional pain.

Those examples illustrate the deep emotional union between identity and traditions,

I think this is why Shulem's brus shakes, this is why he pouses.. why he struggles betwin destroying perfect image of his wife and son's work yet he feels this needs to be done because this is who the woman is and he simply is trying to correct Akiva's mistake.

He could just take brush and in anger paint over the figure, the head in any random broab strokes with the widest brush he could find. But he did not. you see him holding a fine brush, and when he puts the paint over the head he does so with so much care and as much skill for non painter as he can muster..
NOT to cover anything except those few hair strands that are outside the covering. He works with precission and he works slowly and carefully;

While the painting now is changed and seems bit ruined, it actually not. It is different, now. In a sense, it is only now complete.

Whwn you look again, it fits perfectly. that little patch of paint is just where it needs to be but not a smigit more.

The father tried to do impossible job. He wanted to protect his wife and family from shame of displaying her like she was painted so he bought the picture making unbearable sacrifice of selling his own cemetery plot next to his wife and mother, then instead of festroying it, he only carefully "fixed " it leaving the rest intact. He did not intend to destroy it, he simply wanted to do the right thing. And he did it at the great personal cost.

So sad!


Shulem is referring to dogs not being considered clean in Judaism (or Islam) so religious people will never keep them in their homes or comfortable around them.




Interesting point

Anyone else would prefer Akiva moving to NYC and splitting the show between the two locations instead Netflix making spinoff with entire new cast and theme?

I am really sad. I am sad because they made it so depressing. I wish they balanced it better. Life is not just dark. I hope they will do better next season.

Kive almost NEVER smiled, he had no reasons to.

And that portrait of her new wife all surrounded in flames.. one thing is to have some mental disorder, another to portrait it like that on Netflix. I think they did something wrong here with this. When they showed this image I was like.. WTF...
