I hit play because I wanted to watch a Hebrew movie with subtitles for language learning, not knowing what the movie was about, and ended up really enjoying it (For those unfamiliar with it, it is about an orthodox couple facing unexpected trials on Sukkot, a bit like a religious fairy tale and a tad cheesy at times, but also humorous).
Do you have any recommendations for movies with Hebrew as the original language, with a similar theme? Or any other movies (either in Hebrew or with something to do with Judaism in the broadest sense, no matter the genre) you'd like to recommend?
Love that film. Hilarious! what about the bit where the visitors use the lemon for the salad? ha ha!
Here are two other Jewish themed films I love
Loving Leah

Not a lemon - an etrog. It makes me furious every time I see it. How can he be so insensitive and inconsiderate? That's why it's such a trial of his patience.
I've not seen the other two you mentioned.

Not a Jewish movie, but found it interesting that James Cagney grew up in a Jewish neighborhood and spoke perfect Yiddish.

Wow, interesting fact!
Never knew that or would ever think he would know that!

The 3rd series of Shtisel is back on Netflix. Excellent movie.
RE: Movie recommendations - Chavak - 04-09-2021
I might have to get Netflix just to watch it!
RE: Movie recommendations - searchinmyroots - 04-09-2021
I don't have Netflix either!

I come home from work, tune in and get upset because I have to wake up early and turn the show off. I'm only on episode 4. No spoilers Jason!
Chavak and SMR, it would be worth getting Netflix just to watch this series, then you can dump it. So much depth and tenderness between the characters. Humor and serious mixed beautifully.

Filmed way back when, before the country went bust. I used to like watching this, as a kid, despite the screenbook having been written for adults.:
