I did not know this. It explains her big personality and love of life. She is such an amazing actress, snd so immensely talented. This role will get her recognized!

Her performance was a libelous smear job against Hasidic jews

Simon Klein I was going to reply to your comment, but I keep seeing your comments on a lot of people’s posts so I guess I’ll reply. This show isn’t meant to harm the hasidic community. There are many wonderful people in that community, but there are also some awful people as it is a common characteristic among many different groups of people. This show was only meant to share the story of a person who was raised by some not-so-great people

@@simonklein6082 it was based on Deborah Feldman's TRUTH. I don't think it showed them all in that light at all.

@Simon Klein She is only the storyteller, not the writer. Don’t confuse those. It was not her personal opinion. But even if it was, that still wouldn’t make it smear. Telling an untrue story can be smear. Telling a true story (which this story is) may be upsetting to some for giving them a different perspective that they might not have expected or wanted, but truth is truth. The truth is never smear just because it is not as pretty, comfortabel or correct as expected.

That is your opinion from a man's point of view.

Right! That scene was so beautifully done! Great acting from both of the actors

"I can be different too" 🥺💔

He really loved her 😢 but their way of living just didn’t fit Etsy

When he cut his hair OMG I cried!

Mine too

Possibly but she also slandered her fellow jews

Simon Klein How so? You do realise she only acted out an already existing story, don’t you?

Totally. Scary good.

I’m so jealous of how fast her hair grew !!! Lol

@@alezandradavila2581 You do know they filmed a long time ago?

L yes I forgot probably 3 years ago

...by its very nature, it is difficult for a singular to “riot”. - The Pedant 😉

It's extremely inaccurate in how it describes life in the Hasidic community

Simon Klein how is it inaccurate?

Aisha S it’s something that happens to about less than1% of the Jewish people and also a story that was taken COMPLETELY out of context.

Huge crush on this woman.

Do you know anything about willamsburg people to know if she was accurate in how she portrayed the entire community?

Yes, or a golden globe 😉

she got the nomination! hopefully she will win!

@@alvaromano OMG!! Yes and the series is also nominated!! So happy for all of them!! 😁😁🙌🏼

She was brilliant but Oscars are for movies not series

It would have to be the Emmy Award and a Golden Globe award. Oscars are for films.

oscar is for films!

Same here

I literally only just realised she plays Ruchami!

It's an amazing show for ignorant people not to those who are being smeared

@@simonklein6082 What are you trying to say?

@5,ooo LightYears Away Unorthodox is not about anything "extreme." It is about the Chassidic community from Brooklyn--Ultra Orthodox Jews. Unfortunately, Esti's story is not uncommon. Yes, there are many happy marriages with healthy sex lives amongst Satmar, or Belz, or Ger, or any other orthodox religious Jewish groups (from modern orthodox to Chassidic). However, for those who get married at 18 and have never seen TV, a movie, or the internet, and then have to have intercourse, for the first time (never having even held your husband's hand, let alone kissed him), can be very traumatic. And if not acknowledged or addressed, it is sure to lead to an unhealthy relationship. In the bedroom and out. Of course Satmar is angry about the movie. It is all over the internet. Just as all the stories of all the other Esti's have come out. If the Satmar community would actually acknowledge the problems and be a part of the solution, there would be far fewer Esti's in the world. There are other panel discussions on KZfaq about the movie, with women who have lived it. I suggest watching some. You will find it very enlightening.

SK ONTHEROAD That tells you a lot when an extreme religious sect prohibits use of the internet but utilize the internet to express their discontent with how their sect is represented in a program that they shouldn’t even be watching.

@@stealthreporter5122 Again, not extreme. Just a different sect of the Orthodox religion that has different views and values. Those who use the internet as a medium to voice their opinions are largely those who have left the sect they were raised in, which took a lot of courage and determination, and have chosen to use the internet to help tell their story, as well as help others who may be in similar circumstances. They have already rejected the rules and confinements of their sect when they decided to leave and put it behind them. It is those who still claim to be Ultra-Orthodox and are picking and choosing what rules they follow (just as any jew does at any level), who are considered hypocrites.

I loved Shtisel! Now I want to watch Unorthodox again because we know Shira better

Loved Shtisel!!! Hope there will be another season :)

I binged watched Shtisel. Shira was a powerhouse as Ruchami and the entire series was engrossing and well-done. I'm so hoping for a season 3!

I'm afraid that a third season is almost impossible. They left this production a long time ago.

and shtisel is even beetter than unorthodox

Or over time she developed more security. It's what happened to me!! People would never guess how quiet and to myself I aas when I was younger...my senior year in HS i just did a 180! Never been back!

Mi novia dijo eso cuando miravamos. Ella es espetacular y todo el elenco tambien estan increibles

Totally agree!

Shtisel
