My wife Yaffa,

I don't know why,
but suddenly she asks me:

"I think they stopped trying
to do you-know-what..."

Out of nowhere.
I said:

"How can you say that?"

But she kept pushing.

I want you to try again, Yosef.

Are you crazy?

What's the matter with you?

Okay, I'm sorry.

You're talking nonsense.



Okay, we'll see, Feldman.

Good morning, ma'am.
-Good morning.

This won't take long.

Your husband sent a request
for a postponement

until he gets back from
a business trip to...

Switzerland.

The rabbinical court decided
to accept his request,

we'll meet again in a month
for an evidence hearing.

Don't you get he's bullshitting you?

I didn't catch that.
Louder, please.

Don't you get he's bullshitting you?

Young lady, that kind of talk
won't get you anywhere.

These hearings aren't
going anywhere, either.

Here.



Ultrasound.

4 months pregnant
with a bastard child, okay?

It's on your conscience.

Have you no shame?

you who have no shame.

You have no shame..
If your daughter went through

what I'm going through with my husband...
You'd change the world for her...

You'd throw the whole panel out!

I don't care if my baby's a bastard,
I'll love him anyway.

It'll be on your conscience,

yours, yours and yours

Come back, ma'am.

Calm down and sit down...

Let's start over.

You haven't heard us yet.

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

You think she'll like it?

First of all, it looks delicious.

"Bless you, O Lord our God,
creator of all." -Amen.

You know that Yosef
is Iraqi, right?

Estie's grandma is Kurdish,
their food is different.

Kurdish and Iraqi cuisine
is almost the same.

Of course.

Yaffa...

This compares with
my mom's meatballs,

that's the biggest compliment
there is.

You must be kidding.

The spiciness, the seasoning,
everything.

Perfect.
-Did you notice the coriander?

It's excellent.
The meat is tender,

just like the Kurds and Iraqis like,
not like you make them...

like concrete.

You have to taste this, Han'ke.

No.
-C'mon.

Here.
-You'll find it spicy.

Oops...

Sorry, sorry...

Bring some salt.
-Right.

I'll put some here...

Did it come out?

Would she ask such a thing
of Dvoiri's husband?

You're worth a thousand of him.

So she asked
What the big deal?

Why do you always belittle yourself
when you're here?

"A Hebrew maidservant is acquired
with money, not through intercourse.

"Why isn't a Hebrew maidservant
acquired through intercourse?"

What?

Don't tell my dad.

Estie has one, too.

Here, this is after we decided...

She's a pretty bride, thank God.

She took my picture...

That's the thing...

I don't want to let her down...
she's so pretty.

What's the matter, Shmuel Yitzhak?

I was wondering,

how do I know..

when we're in the act,

the act of intercourse...

after we're together,

how do I know when to withdraw?

Do you feel...

that all the seed is out?

A married friend told me

that his marriage instructor told him

that sometimes it doesn't all
come out at once.

Is that...
true?

You'll feel it.

It'll just happen,
don't think about it.

Does anyone teach
a baby to breathe?

I don't want to disappoint her...

It could affect what comes after, no?

You'll be fine.

Nobody expects you to...

Alright.

I hear there's a custom where the husband
drinks lemon juice before the act.

Do you know who your
marriage instructor is?

He's a decent guy, my dad's second
I see him in synagogue a lot.

I heard about...

an interesting custom.

An Ashkenazi custom, actually.
-What custom?

The woman does it,
you may have heard about it,

it's called "hiding the sheet."

Hiding the sheet?

No? On the wedding night,
after the act, the wife

hides the sheet from her husband.

For purposes of modesty,, I think.

But then...

how do you know she's a virgin?

I'm off to bed. I'm tired.

Fine.
I'll be there soon.

Later, bridegroom.

Ask your marriage instructor
about this "hiding the sheet"

it's an interesting custom.

Jewish custom hiding the sheet

Jewish Hungarian custom hiding the sheet"

Hey.

Want to try?

We have tomorrow, too.

"I thank You, living God,

"for restoring my soul to me,
great is Your faith..."

What's up, Shmuel Yitzhak?

Do you mind? I...

What's up?
-I came to sere you. Got a minute?

Sure, want to go inside?
-No, we can talk here.

Walk me to my car.

Is it about what we
spoke about last time?

Yeah... Estie.

There's something
I find beautiful about her,

but it's unusual,

that something, it's not...

a part of her body
that people say

they find attractive in a woman.

I want to ask if it's okay.

Go ahead.

Her skin is delicate,

almost transparent,

and whenever she gets a bruise,

even the slightest blow,

she get these marks,
black-and-blue marks,

and I find that attractive,
very attractive.

And...

More than anything else about her.

And whenever I see it

it makes me have thoughts.

I even...

get ab erection.

Is that normal?
Am I normal?

You're perfectly normal.

God sent you a special gift
to make you love Estie even more.

We all have something special
that we love.

All of us.

As long as it's your wife,
it's fine.

You too?

Yes

See you later.
-When's the "Vort" (pre-engagment meeting)?

In two weeks.

Her father's overseas, so...

we'll meet one time before,

as if by chance,

without our parents' knowledge,
at the Vizhnitz Bakery.

Nice. Nice.
-Bye, Yosef.

And tell me...

what about...

the custom I asked you about?

With the sheet?

Hiding the sheet?
-Oh, right.

He said he never heard of

he considers it a big mistake,

maybe it's a Sephardi
or Ethiopian custom.

In any case...

Okay. I see

Bye, Yosef.
You've been a big help.

"Wedding night virginity"

Sure you don't want tea?
No, no, I've"had enough for today.

How long have you lived here?

A few years.

Yael

Hello, nice to meet you.
Yosef.

Very good.

I'll go over it
and bring it back tomorrow.

I don't want any trouble with..

my mother-in-law...

if she sees it's missing
she'll give us hell, so...

I thought

I'd send Yael with...

I can't go to Grandma's
again tomorrow.

Sure you can.

I can't!
-Don't be silly.

I can't!
-Yes you can.

If you want Grandma to pay for
dance lessons, you'll go.

She'll go.

I'll do it quickly.
-She'll go...

I'll scan what I need and..

Thank you.

So long. All the best.

Bye.

What do you think you'll find in there?

Moshe Haim,

Come here a sec.
-What?

C'mere... Careful! Put that down.
-Sorry, sorry.

Tell me what you see.
-What?

A Russian girl, maybe 15, 16.
Where was it taken?

Look what she's wearing.

What's strange about it?
-What she's wearing?

She's dressed a little old for her age.

Besides the clothes.
What’s she wearing?

A necklace?
Very good, a necklace.

I knew it.
-What's on the necklace?

It's a necklace.

What's hanging on it?

A necklace...

A cross, look!

Hold on, is that Marina's mother-in-law?
-That's Marina's mother-in-law.

She's wearing a cross.
Does that mean she isn't Jewish?

Exactly.

Rabbi Yosef, you're a genius.
I always end up with geniuses.

If she isn't Jewish,
neither is her son.

If the husband isn't Jewish,
the marriage is invalid.

That's no cross, it's a butterfly!

Look it's a butterfly.

What makes you think it's a cross?

Look.

It's a butterfly
-Let me see this...

Zehava,

do me a favor.

What do you see
on this lady's necklace?

A Hamsa, no?

Told you so.
-Be quiet.

What? -Let her concentrate.
Look carefully.

Either a Hamsa
or that Communist symbol,

what's it called?

Never mind.
What are you so happy about? You said butterfly.

What's with this thing?

Call Chabad Moscow
and have him look into it.

Chabad Moscow, okay.

Y'know what?
If you're right

I'll make you coffee like this

every morning for two months.

But if you're wrong,
\

let me have a decent lunch
for a week.

Lunch, on you, wherever I want,
okay?

Deal? -How about "Shtissel"?

Deal. -Yeah?

Get me her birth certificate,
address, whatever,

tell them it's important.
-Okay, I'll.get it.

Oh, my phone.

I said be careful!
-Sorry, I'm so sorry.

Get me something to dry it up.
-Sorry, Rabbi.

Oh, no...

Moshe Haim!

How are you?

Fantastic.
His lawyer called to say

he's coming to the hearing
this week.

What a pathetic coward.

I'm glad to hear it.

All it took was
the tiniest threat.

Sorry I asked you to meet like this,

I know we aren't supposed
to be seen together, but...

I wanted to thank you in person.

It was nothing.

I just gave you a tip,
you did the work.

Before I forget...

Thanks. I know you took
a big risk.

It's nothing. Watch out...

Thanks again.
You're a good man,

not just another robot
with a suit and a beard.

Thank you.

All the best. Good luck.

Thanks.

Ariella, Ariella...

Ariella.

It worked.

Great. Thank you.

I don't need it,
I have plenty.

No, I...

I don't need it. Really.

I wanted to tell you...

I really appreciate what you did,

you did a holy deed.

Thank you.

Just one little thing...

I'm working on a case...
-Yes?

I'm trying to soften up
the husband.

He keeps throwing this
strange argument at me.

What kind of argument?

On their wedding night

she threw the sheet away.
He didn't see.

Why would she do that?

He says it's a Jewish Hassidic
Hungarian custom...

He's hinting she wasn't
a virgin when they got married.

I see. And he's using that
to blackmail her in the divorce?

So it seems.

What does she say?

I didn't want to invade her privacy
until I looked into the matter,

and since you're Hungarian
I thought I'd ask you.

Look, I...

I've never heard of such a custom,
I'm pretty sure he's making it up.

Thanks.
See you later.

Here's her Jewish marriage certificate.

Bella Sheyna Levinsky,
that was her maiden name.

And you thought she was Christian.
What made you think it's a cross?

Bella Sheyna Levinsky,
the most Jewish name in the world.

I guess it's lunch at "Shtissel", huh?

Actually, I haven't tried
their turkey roulade.

Ah, Shtissel, Shtissel, Shtissel...

Sveta, maybe you can help me.

What does it say here in Russian?

Here.
-This says Travishka County...

Uh-huh. -In Ukraine, right?
yes.

Address and phone number.
Want me to read the number?

No, no need. -Okay.
-The rest is in Hebrew.

I'm done here, it's all dry.

Thank you.

Thanks, Sveta.

Well?

Find anything?

Rabbi Yosef.

You know how to say "virgin"
in Russian?

There is not such word.

It's a joke, lighten up.

You're a genius.

What, the Ketuba (marriage contract)?
You get the best...

No, that joke.

About "virgin" in Russian?
Funny, huh?

You're a genius, Moshe Haim!

To be honest, it's not my joke,

I heard it from Deutsch
in the cafeteria.

Then both you and Deutsch are geniuses
Read this.

What's wrong here? Look.

What's the usual wording?

"And he said to this fine virgin."

That's right, "fine virgin."
-So what's missing?

What?

The word "virgin."

Why doesn't it say "virgin"?

Don't bother, it's not there.

So what does that mean?

Well, Moshe Haim?

The volume of "Women,
Tractate Ketubot,...

That she's divorced!
-"You grant wisdom to man."

Or those cursed Cossacks
did something to her...

No, no, no,

the only time a Ketuba
doesn’t say "virgin"

is when she's a divorcee.

That's that.

So she's divorced,
what's the big deal?

A divorcee.

Where did you go to school?

If a bride is a divorcee,
what has to be attached to the Ketuba?

Well?
-A divorce certificate?

Thank you! -I knew it!
-Was there a divorce certificate?

No, no...

Yes or no?

No, I'm sure of it. I asked Friedman:
Are there any other documents?

"No, that's the whole file."

Then he's a bastard!

Her son is a bastard!

Marina's husband,
who's denying her a divorce?

He's a bastard child!

See him?

Yeah?

She married a new husband

before she got a divorce.

You realize what this means?

No...
I don't get it, Rabbi.

He didn't tell Marina
"I'm a bastard child.

He lied. -Okay.
-They lied to her.

They promised her one thing
and gave her another.

That's called fraud.

Now we can cancel the marriage,
get it?

No need to submit appeals,

it doesn't matter
if the catering was kosher,

just one word:

Bastard.

Okay, okay.

Feigie didn't come in today

so I'm the receptionist, the dishwasher,
and Rabbi Aaron's secretary, too.

He wants to see you, okay?

Be there in two minutes.

Bastard.

We have a bastard here.

A small coffee, strong...
-Right away.

Very strong. -How are you, Zehava?
-Fine, thanks.

Make it a large.
-No problem.

How are you, Rabbi Aaron?

Did you hear about the "theatre show
that was at Karelitz's panel?

No, what happened?

A woman who hasn't even been denied
a year and a half came in screaming,

waving her ultrasound and shouting:
Because of you my baby will be a bastard!"

Those jokers hadn't checked,
they phoned the Ministry of Law

and issued her husband
a stay of exit order

and... it's a mess.

Did they speak to your from Jerusalem?
-Speak?

They went mad.

And they're right.

God forbid this should get out.

Women will start coming in
left and right,

booming us with ultrasounds.

They'll bring us ultrasounds
from their aunties.

I told all the rabbinate judges

and I'm tiling you, too,

if a woman comes in
waving an ultrasound,

come straight to me.

It's that bad?
-Yes, it's a trend.

That woman didn't even
bring a lawyer.

Strange.

Very strange.

You think I told her what to do?

Heaven forbid.

But you too...
-What about me?

Did I ask for milk?

I didn't ask for milk.
-Sorry. I'll make another cup.

Never mind...
-I'll make another cup, it's okay.

Alright.

Liat Ben Shoshan
is waiting outside, okay?

Hold on,

send Liat in.
-Okay.

Liat Ben Shoshan.

Come in, please.

Ms. Liat?
-Yes.

Rabbi Morad is a very busy man.

You were told he only deals with
forcing husbands to grant a divorce,

not women who are waiting
or are being denied a divorce.

Your case is just two years old?

You aren't even considered
a "Gett" delayed wife,

yet you came to him,
isn't that right?

That's right.

It's not your place
to make these decisions, you hear me?

Wait in my office,
I'll be right there.

That's what I'm talking about.

You have time for everyone,

the Liats, the ultrasounds.

It pains me to see that you have time
for everyone besides your wife.

I'm not going to ask you again

if you and Hannah are trying...

you told us very clearly
that it's none of our business

and I agree,

we aren't blaming you,
God forbid,

we won't intrude
on your privacy, but...

could she be the problem?

Maybe she's put off by...

you know, it happens.

With women

everything's much more complicated.

Yosef, there's nothing
in Jewish law to stop you, I mean...

if Hannah is put off by it,
if she has a problem,

in terms of Jewish law
it's as if she's infertile.

We can get permission
to have her inseminated

God willing, we've sidestepped
the problem.

What do you say?

I say we have no problem.

Not me, not your daughter,

no problem at all,

and God willing,
everything will be fine.

That's what I say.

Here you go, Rabbi Aaron.

"Bless You, O Lord,
who brings joy to groom and bride."

Amen!

"Bless You, O Lord,
King of the universe,

creator of joy and happiness,
groom and bride,

gladness, bliss, mirth,
love and amity,

"peace and friendship..."

He wasn't even my boyfriend,
he was just some...

What's that you're saying?

Just a friend

from school,
I asked him to help me

get an exemption from the army.

So you didn't have intimate...

No.

Does it matter

if we had intimate relations?

Uh... maybe.

Maybe...

And you say he isn't

in Israel now, he's traveling?

So his friends say.
We aren't in touch.

We still spoke after the wedding
but we stopped

when I started getting religious.

And when..

when did you request the divorce?

It occurred to me a long time before,
but I only actually requested it

when I started..

looking into getting married.

I sent the first email
two years ago.

Do you still have it?

Mm-hm. And his reply, too.

He asked me to give him
a million shekels to get a divorce.

It's...

a joke, that I should give him
a million shekels, and...

Oh, excuse me.

By the second email
he went down to half a million

and said he wouldn't take
a shekel less.

I spoke to his friends,
his mother,

it was no use.

He didn't even get back to me.

Is there some amount
you'd be willing to pay?

Nothing.

A question, if you don't mind.

Is there...

some reason you came to me now?

Are you asking if I have

Do you mean if I have
a specific match option?

Does it matter?

It could affect
the court's attitude.

I see.

No

Do you

I mean...

can you help me?

Look, on the face of it..

I don't really handle these cases

He isn't even defined
as a refuser, yet...

It's Yogev, right?

But the way you present your case

is very, very important*”""

If you say that."

it makes it hard to find a match

that you have someone in mind,

that there's an amount
you'd be willing to pay.

That...

would present him
in a very negative light...

and that way we can force him
to grant a divorce.

If I say the right things,

will you help me?

As I said...

I'll try.

Right.

Thanks.

Did I wake you?

No.

I wasn't sleeping.

Long day?

You work too hard.

Your father stays an hour
later than me.

Then him, too.

He's always been that way.

It's not good.

Also when we were kids

he always came home late.

And...

I'd lie awake in bed,

Dvoiri would fall asleep.

I knew he'd come in...

ask me how I'm doing,

tuck me in.

No big deal.

We don't have to.

It was dark, I was really nervous.

I was excited, and...

it happened...

very quickly...

only took a few seconds.

At first I thought she was...

angry or disappointed,

and that's why she hopped out of bed
and took the sheet.

She said it's their custom,

it's called "hiding the sheet."

A Jewish Hungarian custom.

I looked into it.

No such thing.

Hold on. During the act,

didn't you feel it?

You know how to check
every chicken Kosher,

and her you don't?

It was my first time,

I had nothing
are with.

And I was under
a lot of

What?
I was under a lot of pressure.

I was 32, she's young...

She probably expected me...

to take the lead,
to know what to do.

You came to cook me an egg
and dropped a bomb instead.

I had to tell someone.

Alright.

Dump her.

Who?

The...

The sheet-hider,
dump her.

If I were as religious
as you are,

that's what I'd do.

Okay, okay,

but still, you know,

it's just a suspicion.

Tell me.

are you an idiot?

Did you expect her
to tell you:

"Listen, I'm not a virgin"?

Don't you know these people?

Don't you realize
she and her parents

are in this together?

Why do you think they married her to...

an Iraqi Jew?

Why not one of their own,
an Ashkenazi jew?

Because if he were one of them

you think he'd buy
all her ridiculous stories?

Now you're going too far.
-No I'm not.

You wanted my opinion,

an expert's opinion,
well, there it is.

I'm telling you what I think.

Why do you tell me these things?

Why?

Why?

Because I'm gay.

What's that got to do with it?
-Plenty.

I'm gay, and we know all about

these tricks.

And the expert says

that she had sex
with another man before you,

I don't know who,
but you didn't marry a virgin.

And that explains a lot.

On the other hand,
what does it matter now

what happened,
how it happened,

whether or not she's a virgin?

What matters is how you feel now.

And sexual relations are important, too.

When was the last time

you pleasured your wife?

Every day

you pray:

Blessed is He who made me
with many orifices..."

Every orifice

has the things it likes

and how it likes them.

One likes it harder,
one likes it more gently,

one likes it deeper...

Uncle Shimon...
-Mona... -Stop it.

What? -Please.

Alright.

Now take me to the bathroom.

That's the way.

That's it.

Delicious.
-Is it? Enjoy.

Yosef,

next time you make
the vegetables...

more salt and more pepper.

It's flavorless.

Only an Ashkenazi could eat it

Even kings make mistakes.

Kings, Shalom?

The hat, the suit...

I can get you a suit
for 30 shekels. Interested?

30 shekels?

How's Shimon?
I hear you visited him.

Having a hard time.

Really.

It's heartbreaking.
- I know.

Imagine dying that way,

all alone in some HaTikva slum.

He made the bed he's lying in.

Gili, how much is an apartment
in HaTikva?

I'd have to see it.

Is that hummus or tahini?
I feel like hummus.

Real estate in HaTikva
is no great shakes.

That's the hummus.
-This is the hummus.

Shapira was also a slum,
now it's worth double.

Triple. four years.

That's enough.
It's the Sabbath table.

Tomer!

Tomer, put that down,
it's Shabbat.

That's Grandma's.
Get over here.

Where are you going

He didn't eat a thing!
-He does this every Shabbat.

Mom, I keep telling you,

put it away before Shabbat.

Okay, I forgot.

I can sit with him.

Don't get up.

Trying to run away?

What I said about Ashkenazi food,

you weren't offended, were you?
-God forbid.

I like your cooking better.
-Really?

Better than the Ashkenazis?
-Hear that?

It's not just the apartment, he gets
a pension and Social Security. -Social Security?

Even if he puts everything aside how much
does it come to? 1,000 shekels a month?

That's something, isn't it?
Maybe not for you.

12,000 a year,

times the years since he retired, makes...

180,000. -Hot bad.

Reuven, please!

It's Shabbat.

So now you're the Lubavitcher Rebbe?
Lighten up!

Tali...
-We're just talking.

Show some respect. -Okay.
-He's your brother.

Why? He only comes
once a month,

he can use an update.

You think Uncle Shimon's stupid?
Is that what you think?

You think he doesn't know
you're after his money?

His money?

Don't you think I care about him?

Enough already!

Is this an appropriate talk for Shabbat?

You changed his diapers yesterday
and you're talking?

Yuck! Did you really?

He said he changed
Uncle Shimon's diaper?

Good for you.

No, he didn't tell me about it.

The diner...
-Actually, he asked...

Was it Number One
or Number Two?

Actually, he asked me,
but God forgive me I couldn't.

So gross! -Good for you.
-Leave him alone.

You want to change Tom's diaper too?
-Enough!

He was helping him.
-Very nice of you.

Joseph the Righteous...

Enough, it's not funny. Cheers.
-Cheers.

Shabbat Shalom.
Bleary our hands, Mom. -Cheers.

Cheers. -Cheers.
-Shabbat Shalom. -Shabbat Shalom.

Shabbat Shalom.
-Shabbat Shalom.

There's always too much food...

Mom, what do I do with
the tablecloth...

with the wine stains?

Put it in the machine?

No, put it here.

For heaven's sake,

that kind of stain
doesn’t come out in the wash.

Sorry, I didn't meant to.

Okay, okay.

Tell me...

did you really change
Uncle Shimon's diaper?

Yes, I wanted to help.
He's my uncle, what's the big deal?

No, it's a good idea.

Another few times
and you can talk to him about the inheritance.

Cut it out, Mom. I don't want to talk about it,
certainly not now.

Hannah didn't touch her food.

She just stared at meatballs.

Did I tell you her brother's getting married?
Shmuel Yitzhak?

Nice. Congratulations.

I'm studying with him...
Before the wedding.

Really? Nice.
-He's terrified, poor guy.

He should be.

He's sort of like Uncle Shimon, right?

Stop that, Mom.
-No, in a good way.

He has a certain delicacy
like Uncle Shimon.

No?

Anyway, I'm trying to help him out.

Tell me...

do we have any special custom

for the wedding night?

Everyone has his own custom.

Front, back, in the middle...
-No, seriously.

What do you want from me?
-A custom women have on the wedding night.

Do you know of any?

What custom?

What?

Ever heard of

"hiding the sheet"?

What's that?

An Ashkenazi custom,

after the act
the wife takes the sheet

and throws it away
so her husband doesn't see.

What kind of custom is that?

So you've never heard of it?

Move.

"Custom."

That's no custom.

Everyone does it.

Ashkenazis, Sephardis, everyone.

Why should the husband
see that nasty stuff?

Move.

Why should he see that nasty stuff?

He'd lose all his desire.

My mother also told mW

"Throw it away, first thing."

Some men are afraid
to see the blood,

it grosses them out.

You see?

Hey...

What's this for?

Yosef...

I love you, Mom,
that's all.

This woman calls me and says:

"How much is the rug?"

How stupid can you be?

I wrote specifically:
"Bed and table."

I mean, seriously.

He has another apartment.

Who?

Uncle Shimon.

He has a house in Neve Zedek.

"A house..."

It's a dump, but...

the plot is worth millions.

They don't know about it.

My dad once told me about it.

I kept it to myself.

So the fact that I visit him,
take care of him...

change his diapers...

It's not all that honest.

It's not all that bad.

Next time I'll take you
to change him.

Han'ke, I...

I want you to tell me
what feels good.

Okay? -What?

Which..

During the act,

which words or...

acts...

or whatever makes you feel good.

I don't know...

I don't know.

What makes you feel good?

Have any words in mind?

Does that feel good?

Your beauty drives me wild.

Really?
-Yes.

What?

Everything okay?
-Yes.

Then what is it?

Here...

you can do this.

Exactly.
-Okay.

Yes.

Is that okay?

You can also bite...

my nipple

I want to see you.

I want to see you.

In the light, your face,

as you do it.

Okay?

Okay.

Not that it's forbidden, but...

it's just a custom.

Alright.

No, I mean...

If you want,
next week we can leave...

the light on.

Can we...

open the door
and let a little light in?

I want to see you.

Alright.

Is that okay?

Yes.
