    The Cairo Genizah was always considered one of the most fascinating documents about Jewish life in the middle ages. The problem with it has been that the different pieces of the documents, which were found there, were scattered around the world in different archives. Thanks to modern technology this is finally going to change. And wow that the Cairo project is as good as completed, the people of the Genizah Project are looking to license their technology to other similar projects around the world, where the Israeli innovation is considered no less than groundbreaking.

    Israeli satcaster, YES, produced a new fascinating dramatic series that shows us a glimpse into the mostly unknown inner world of the ultra Orthodox Jews of Jerusalem’s Meah Shearim.
    Ayelet Zurer, the star of “Shtisel”, has spent the past decade in Hollywood where she starred in movies like Munich, Angels and Demons and most recently The Man of Steel. Zurer admits she couldn’t work only in Hollywood because Israel is where the heart is.
    The stars of “Shtisel” all admitted that the process of learning their characters took them to places they themselves didn’t always knew existed in Israel but that the most fascinating thing for them was that as much as they were curious about the orthodox world those religious Jews they met were curious to learn about the secular world that was completely foreign to them.

    The Jewish penitential poems and prayers or the Slichot are a very important part of the preparation for the Jewish High Holidays. Weeks before the holidays commence Jews all over the world wake up extra early to start the prayer ritual in which they ask for God’s repentance. We are here starting our tour of the old city in Jerusalem to experience how Jews practice their Slichot. It is the aspiration of every Jew wherever he is in the world to come pray at the holiest of holiest for Jews the closest to where temple once stood over two-thousand years ago and this is even more significant in time of the Slichot.
