The Women of SHTISEL

Their heads covered by wigs and scarves, the ultra-Orthodox women of Geula were invisible to outsiders...until Shtisel pulled back the curtain on their lives, their hearts and their strengths. Now hear from the actresses who embodied Giti, Libbi, Ruchami and Elisheva - and from the female producer who shepherded the family drama into an unlikely global sensation. Moderated by Abigail Pogrebin. With: Dikla Barkai, Producer Shira Haas, Ruchami Neta Riskin, Giti Hadas Yaron, Libbi Ayelet Zurer, Elisheva READ ABOUT OUR LAST SHTISEL EVENT Via Zoom Conferencing The Virtual June Celebration is made possible by a generous gift from Temple Emanu-El member Robert B.
