Ultra-Orthodox Jewish TV Shows

It’s easy to think that Haredi (“ultra-Orthodox”) communities are all black and white. But the increase in TV shows and films that portray the complexities of Orthodox Jewish, especially Haredi, life in the past ten years has allowed us to catch a glimpse into what life in these communities is really like. Join us as we take you through some of pop culture’s favorite Haredi characters, like Esty from “Unorthodox” and Akiva from “Shitsel”.
