What's it like being with a secular woman?

Are you saying I can be secular

until it comes out of my ears?

What if it doesn't?

Then it doesn't.

As long as I don't know about it.

If it goes away, good.

If not...

your loss.

Get closer, why are you standing so far?
I need to see the faces.

Right...



Go right...

My right...

Wow, what a saint...

Hold on...
-Are you watching? Is it him?

No, that's his cousin.

Moshe, stop that.

Let the poor man eat.

Look at that cake, I bet it's all margarine.
The cheapskates.

Move on, Moshe, that's a girl.

Oh yeah? I thought it was a man.

It's my mother-in-law!

He got all his evilness from her.

Is that a mustache?

You told me to look at all the faces.



Does that look like a dress
it looks like a tent. What is that?

Cut it out.

Wait...

Hold on...

Look...
Behind her,

a man with a baseball cap
-This guy?

Yes, that's him!
-This one?

Yes, it's him!
-872, this is Gray Tiger, do you read me?

We're on a call here,
give me 5 minutes.

He's escaping through the kitchen!

Moshe Haim, run after him!

I'm going. Wait here.

"Unchained" Created by
Joseph Madmony, Tamar Kay, and David Ofek

Where to?

Daniel and Miriam.

They’re hawing a gathering.

Why are you surprised?
-No...

It happened so fest,
we just talked about it and already...

When you went to synagogue this morning
did I ask why the rush?

It's not the same.
-Why?

I meet people
going through the same thing I am.

Why is that less important than synagogue?

You're right.

was too fast for me.

How about I with you?

I'd like to go with you once.

I won't get in the way.

We'll each keep to ourselves.

I'll be in my corner,
you in yours.

It's just...

important to me
to get to know that corner.

You ran off last time.

I didn't think we'd see you anymore
and here you both are.

You're a rabbi, right?

You don't have to confirm or deny,
I have a nose for these things.

Yes.

We had this debate after the movie.

About what?

Whether a movie
can be considered sacred.

There are no written letters
the eye can see,

only electronic waves,
therefore there's no issue of sanctity.

That's nice,
but that's a cerebral answer.

You asked me
about a Jewish law matter.

Yes, I didn't mean...
Never mind.

What the guys here are looking for

is something more off the wall.

Yes.

Opening new pages.

Take the story
about the Sabbath tractate.

Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai
and his son, Rabbi Elazar,

in the cave,
they studied for 13 years,

their bodies in the sand
and only their heads exposed.

Consider that image.

Whoever saw it
must have be on something, am I right?

Do you want to?

Excuse me?
-Do you want to?

To feel...

another dimension?

Wait here.

This is MDMA.

If the Rabbi ever wishes
to truly expand his mind,

experience love, joy...

this unity that envelops you,

everything is connected,
"the whole earth is full of His glory.

I can't explain it,
you have to feel ft.

Here, keep it,

for when you feel
the moment is right.

"Blessed are You, God,
who created everything with His word."

"Before the face of God,

"Pour out thy heart like water

"Before the face of God,

"Pour out thy heart like water

"Before the face of God,

"Pour out thy heart like water..."

"Before the face of God,

"Pour out thy heart like water

"Before the face of God,

"Merciful one, who answers the poor,

"Answer us,

"Merciful one, who answers

"the brokenhearted,

"Answer us,

"Merciful one, who answers

"Merciful one, who answers

"Who answers the Anusim.

It needs to be tested, right?

I didn't even finish it..

It's tasty.

You sang beautifully.

Thank you.

What's this?

The door's open.

Good evening.
-How are you?

Hi.

Are you alright?

I'll tell you
after I put him to sleep.

Yosef, I'm so sorry
to barge in like this.

It's alright.

Luckily Mom saw them through the peephole,
I hid in the crawl space.

The crawl space?
What about Bar?

I took him with me
and nursed him so he wouldn't cry.

With all the junk
that Mom hoards in there.

Luckily, you give him a boob,
he's content.

I undid my blouse
and shoved him onto...

What about the thugs?

They walked around the apartment
for some 2-3 minutes,

looked around, opened the closets,
tossed things out... you know, for show.

Threw stuff on the floor and left.

What about Mom?

She's okay, I think.
-You think?

Was there any violence or not?

Don't say a word,
Hannah doesn't need to be involved.

Thanks.

I must have some,
I couldn't find them in all this mess.

It's okay.

Tali will stay here for a few days,

until things work out with Gili.

I'm sorry.

No big deal.

It happens to everyone.
It'll be fine, God willing.

He always had a violent tendency,

it just exploded.

Tali, not now.

I got my period.

Why didn't you tell me?
I touched you all the way home.

I just noticed,
when you were in the kitchen with Tali.

Okay.

Hanke.

I can't live like this.

I don't understand.

I'm respecting our agreement,
you should too.

What if the Rules of Niddah offend me?
(religious laws of family purity)

There's a solution for everything.

I have to go, Hannah.
We'll talk when I get back.

Will I be prohibited to you
during childbirth as well?

You won't be able
to hold my hand?

When that day comes,
God willing, we'll talk.

Mom.

Mom?

What?

Did those animals touch you?

Why didn't you call?

Are you alright?

I'm fine.

I'm fine. Let it be.

Mom, did they harm you?
We'll go to the police.

Forget the police.

That' all I need, the police.

Tali told me what happened,
I came right over.

What...
What happened? Tell me.

Nothing, they came in,
looked around and left

Put something on, Mom.

I will, in a minute.

So you don't suffer, God forbid.

You sucked and sucked
and this is what's left.

I give and give...

Why are you talking like this?
-And it doesn't end.

You have us, your grandchildren.
-Yeah?

Is that why I live?
To smile to the grandkids?

"Tali, Tali, Tall,
where's Tali? Where's Tali?"

One of them shoved me,

the other said:
"That's not nice, she's an old lady."

"An old lady?"
-Have you been drinking? Mom?

You've been drinking,
I can smell it.

Good morning.
-Good morning.

At first, when the baby wakes up hungry,
you're scared to death.

Are you pregnant?

No.

I just wondered how it felt.

For some it goes smoothly,

but for most..

no one tells you this,
it's cracked nipples, infections...

No. I mean

how does it feel
that your body produces food?

That someone nourishes off you?
-With Bar it was weird.

I wanted to keep my boobs for Gili.

I always took pride in the fact...

I don't mean to boast...

that my boobs were always perky
as if God was holding them up.

But you know when that changed?

When I nursed a baby
that wasn't mine.

Yup did that as well.

When I was nursing Naama,

my girlfriend's son
was the same age

and she came over once,

she had to leave or something,

she left him with me,

and he started crying...

wailing and bawling,
I had to shut him up

so I nursed him and it..

felt good.

It was the first time it felt good.

I wanted to feel
the same with mine,

and then it changed.

What do you feel
when he nurses?

Are you sure you want to know?
-Yes.

It feels like...

you know...

like someone's touching you.

Touching you there.

Someone you love, obviously.

But it feels...

at first I enjoyed it so much
it scared me,

but with Tom,
all the floodgates opened.

I can come from it.

You feel this tightening
and currents, it's...

Isn't it strange it's from your child?
-Not at all.

It makes me feel good, so what?

I'm off.

Okay.
-Have a good day.

What did Gili think?

Gili looked at me
with such adoration

way before I knew
that I could enjoy it.

Is he asleep?

Yes,. It's like a drug. Look.

Just before my mother passed

a rabbi came to see her
in the hospice

and he told her
what would happen to her in the world to come

if she didn't tell me
to grant you a Gett (a Jewish bill of divorce).

Can you believe that?

So that's what the Rabbinical Court does
with the public's money

and that's what I have
to deal with now.

Then he came to the Shiva,

to the house,

and told me that my mother
is watching us

and I'm causing her torment
in the world to come

and all those intelligent texts.

Honestly. I didn't expect this of you.

So, not only did it not help,

it just made matters worse.

Thank you, Miki.

You betrayed my trust.

You're right.

I can explain why I did it, but...

first I want to apologize.

Second, you know
that what he's saying is nonsense.

His mother cooperated with us fully.
-That's not the issue..

You promised you wouldn't go to her,
you lied to me.

That's why people hate
the Rabbinate.

I'll never let them marry me,

bat this is important to Liat.
-Thank you, Miki.

I take full responsibility
for what I did,

but if I'm ever
in the same situation,

I'll do the same thing.

A person's life is in the balance.
-Not to me. -To me it is.

And don't tell me when to be hurt.
-Liat...

I don't decide for you

but what this guy says
doesn't faze me

and I judge no one
in a moment of anger.

You broke a promise.

You should ask yourself

why you behave this way.

Ask yourself why you're handling my case
with special care.

All the looks,
the moments where...

Yosef,

want some?
-Thank you, Zehava.

I made it, Yosef.

No, thank you, Zehava.

We're waiting for you,
Haya Malka told me her story,

she was crying and...

Haya Malka, please wait outside,

I'll be with you in 10 minutes.

Rabbi Yosef it's not what you think,
you know me...

This is exactly what I warned you about!

Rabbi Yosef, just before you walked in
the girl a mess.

What could I do?
You do the same sometimes, don't you?

I don't hug women!

"Hug..."
-There are distinct boundaries.

I wasn't hugging,
I was reassuring.

Rabbi.

What could I do?

Do you think I'm a fool?

That I don't see how you've both
been happy since we caught her husband?

Her husband just texted her from jail,

he said he won't give her a Gett
even if he rots in prison.

Life is in the balance!
-And you give her a massage?!

Preservation of life! -Get out of my room.
Get out, I don't want to see

This isn't fair...
-I'm done with you!

And in my room!
Out!

You know what?
You're right, I was wrong.

I shouldn't have done that.

But you make mistakes too...
We all do. -Get out of my room.

I know thing’s about you too, Rabbi...

You know exactly
what I'm talking about.

Get out of my room.

Where were you
and your wife last night?

Want me to tell you
the address?

I have it.

Are you threatening me?

God forbid,
I'm just saying we all stumble,

you, me, let's move on.

Yael.

How is she?

The paramedics
are in the room with her.

Hello,

How is she?
-Who is he?

The rabbi tending
to my mother's divorce.

Okay.
She swallowed sleeping pills.

We're tending to her,
then we'll take her to the hospital

Will she be alright?

She'll be fine.

6, 7 pills,

it's more a cry for help.

If anyone really wants to,
they don't do what she did.

I see.

Let's go in the room, Yael,
I'll stay with you.

I'll tell your daughter
you're alright.

Don't worry

What are you studying now?

Samuel II, but the teacher
likes to mix It up. -That's important.

David says to Yoav:

"Dill gently...'

"Deal gently with the young man."

"Even with Absalom."

Why does David ask Yoav

to spare Absalom
even though he rebelled against him?

Well?

He loves him,
he's his favorite son.

Very nice.

That's the literal explanation.
What's the interpretation?

Do you know what "Interpretation" means?

There's the literal meaning and there's
the interpretation.

Literal is the surface meaning.
Just as you explained.

He asks him not to do it
because he loves his son.

Then there's the interpretation which is
more profound, it hides behind the verse.

So what is odd
about David's request?

It's not odd, he's his son.
-But still,

a rebellion is a rebellion..

So, Gersonides says...

he was a very great rabbi
many years ago,

he says that David realized

that God is punishing him

through his son, Absalom,
for Bathsheba's sin.

Did you learn about Bathsheba?

So David realized

that Absalom
is the messenger of God.

"How can I kill him

"if he's God's messenger?"

Yes, but the exam is only
on the material we studied.

Yes, yes.

Just so you know

there are other aspects besides...

the literal explanation.

Did anyone get back to you

Alex.

Hey, how's it going?
-Fine. -For sure?

Yes?

Rabbi Yosef.

I'll explain and you decide.
Just let me...

There's nothing to explain.

You threatened me, it's all good.

Tell anyone you want.

I didn't say I wanted to tell, Rabbi,

I just said we all stumble and it's not fair
you're doing this to me. -"Not fair."

Listen, I fired you,
you want to maintain your livelihood,

go to Rabbi Aaron and tell him
whatever you want. You know what? No.

Get up.
Let's go to him together.

Just before we go in there,
know this,

I go to that place for Hannah and God willing,
I'll get her out of there.

Honestly, Rabbi,
don't expect me to believe you. -Don't,

but ask him. -Whom?

Ask whomever told you if they ever saw me
putting anything in my mouth.

I don't even drink coffee there.

Soda from a sealed bottle
in a disposable cup, that's all.

It's broken, it's broken,
Rabbi Yosef.

I hope no one has to go through
what I am with my wife

and if Rabbi Aaron knew

what I'm doing for his daughter,

he would kiss my hands.

But I don't want to break his heart.
Come on, let's do this.

Rabbi, Rabbi...

Forget about it.

I wasn't going to say anything

I just wanted you...

to pay attention to me,
to listen to me.

Go ahead, I'm listening.

That was the first time in my life
that a woman ever looked at me

like I wasn't a clown.

You don't have that problem,

you wouldn't understand.

I never get to the second data,

after the first one,
it's game over.

Yes, my folks used to be secular, that reduces
my chances of a match, but not to this extent.

It's like I give off...

that I'm not serious.

One time it did progress
to a second date,

but she was ugly,
this 30-year-old Kurdish chick.

With Haya Malka,
it's the first time in my life

that a woman sees me
as a man.

So she's older than me.
she's divorced,

soon to be divorced,

but she looks at me
like a human being.

Rabbi,

please look the other way,
forgive me.

Do me a favor.

I know there is no forgiveness,
we did it in your room, but...

please forgive me.

-Yes.

It's between you and God,
not me.

I will manage God,
believe me.

I'll make a vow, I'll give to charity, I'll ask
for forgiveness, atone.

He and I will work it out.

But I know I let you down.

I know it.

Please forgive me.

Give me a chance.

You forgave your wife.

Forgive me too.

It's alright Moshe Chaim.

Rabbi...

Spicy cinnamon,
like Rabbi Tzairi's.

"Blessed are You, God, who created everything
with His word." -Amen. I took them from Ms room.

I'm kidding, Rabbi.
Do I look like a swiper to you?

She didn't say
exactly which ones she needs.

These look like they absorb well.
What do you think?

Yes.

What else? Gerber?

Yes.

What's wrong with you?

I talked to Tali.

We had a talk.

About what?

All kinds of things.

She's nice.

Never mind..

She told me
why staying with us.

That criminals are threatening them
because of the loan

and they hit your mom.

No they didn't.
-That's what Tali said.

They didn't hit her, I saw

Maybe she doesn't
want you to worry.

But it’s not that...

You didn't have to tell me stories
about Tail and Gili.

I didn't want to worry you.

I'm not that fragile.
-Could be...

What's the big deal, Hannah?

Here's the Gerber.

You take it.

She wanted banana-apple.

You shouldn't

Hannah, I didn't want to stress you out,
that's all. -No, you were ashamed.

Of what?

That your family got messed up
with criminals...

You don't have to be, it doesn't change
how I feel about you. -Is that what you think?

I wanted to tell you that.

We said we wanted
to start something new.

But you think I was embarrassed?
Why would I be?

Did I do anything wrong?

Did I...

ever hide the fact
that I'm from Pardes Katz?

I'm asking you.

On the contrary.

I may be wrong,
but I thought that's why you lied to me.

I lied to you?
About what?

You’re accusing me of lying?

If I hadn't found out about you,
you would have kept on lying for years.

That's not fair.
-But it's the truth.

Well?

This isn't working.

What?

Our agreement.

Me in my corner,
in yours, it's not working.

We have to separate.

I don't see any way out.

Out of what, exactly?

Half my life
I'm forbidden from touching you.

I want to kiss you now
and you can't.

Then respect me.
Can't you do that?

What if I need that kiss
more than anything in the world?

I lied to you for years,

it sullied everything.

There's no way back.

It's too late.

We have to separate
for both our sakes.

I'm going to Miriam and Daniel's
alone tonight.

Alright.

I wasn't going to go as it is.

Then I'll sleep over
at a friend’s house.

What will I tell Tali?

Whatever you want.

I ruined your week, huh?
-God forbid,

she wanted to spend time
with her friend.

Relax, I'll put something on.

It's okay.

There may be a solution.
-What?

I can reduce...

a major portion of the sum
If I work for them.

They kinda threw it out there.

Doing what?

They have an escort service.

What?

Yeah, some men like mommies.

Don't be ridiculous!

Tali,

here,

I'm not a rabbi now
I'm not religious,

just a man.

I know what you're thinking.

You want to get it over with,
be free.

You're saying,
I'll turn a blind eye,

a month or two,
whatever it takes,

as long as it's over.

But what seems like a solution now,
you'll carry with you for life.

Look at the bigger picture.

What about the kids?

What about the kids?
You think they won't know one day?

It will destroy them.

You're risking their future,
your own home.

Is anything more important
than a home?

More sacred than a home?

I know what looks like
when your home falls apart.

You're not alone.

You have brothers,
you have family.

True, I've been distracted lately,

I'm nervous, stressed out...

I'm going through a tough time.

Shalom and Reuven,
they have their problems,

but we're with you

to the end.

I shouldn't have told you

I'm sorry.

Sorry for what?
-Sshhh...

Hold on.

Let's be still for a moment.

Thanks for what you said.

I love you.

"Blessed are Yen, God,
who created everything with His word.

What's, this?

What do you see?

What's this?

Interesting...

A book!

What's this?

You'll learn
that you can live like this.

You can have both.

A new life.

Hello. -Hey.

Hey.

I'm impure.

What are you doing here?

Let's go...

Where can we talk?

Huh? -Over here.

Why are you so serious?

What's going on?

I had an epiphany, Hanke.

An epiphany.

What?

I held a baby in my arms.

Is that it?

No, no...

Before that I took MD.

Did Daniel give it to you?
-Yes.

Last time we were here.

It's like khat,
that the Yemenites chew.

When they... -Yes.

Want to be sharp, focus...

The Kabbalists too,

they used it a lot,

they ingested all kinds of plants
to stay awake

all night to study Torah.
Same thing.

Same thing.

But these are synthetic compunds.

What's the difference?

No difference. It's all,chemistry.

Do you...

understand, Hannah?
The entire world is chemistry

and as long as it's kosher...

then it's all good.

In any case...

I took this thing and...

it focused me, Hannah.

I realized exactly where we stand.

Where?

I reached the conclusion

that for the sake of the family and...

keeping, the family intact

I'm allowed to touch you
when you're impure.

I mean...

not exactly.
When you have your period,

I won't touch you,
but that's it,

when you're clean,
you'll be permitted to me, partially.

I'll be able to touch you,
but not...

not to be "fruitful and multiply."

And that's it.

So you'll only have
a few rough days...

We'll be more lenient.

For the goal,
the family, the baby.

We'll have a baby, Hanka.

I wholeheartedly believe

that we will have a baby.

I saw it,
I saw him.

We'll have one.

He'll be more beautiful
than Tali's baby.

We'll call him Hillel.

Jewish law according to Beit Hillel,
(lenient school of thought)

They were referring to us, Hannah.

They were referring to us.

Wait,

and...

if it's a girl?

Let's think.

Hallel. (praise)

We'll call her Hallel.

Hallel.

Hallel!

Yes.

Hello.
-Good evening.

Hallel.

We'll sell her Hallel.

Hallel!

Hallel.

You're a genius, Hannah.

Hallel... it's nice.
-Where’s Tali?

Tali?

Tali?

Yosef...

Where are
Tali and the baby?
