Voice of the Jewish News: Lighten lockdown with our Shtisel screening!

Just when you thought there was nothing to lift the mood of the community, along comes Shtisel 3.

Your love for the Israeli drama series was duly noted by Jewish News, so we have pulled out all the stops to bring you three episodes of the new series, to watch months before it is streamed here in the UK, an exclusive Q&A with the cast and creative team and a look behind the scenes!

The British premiere of Shtisel 3 from January 14-17 will reunite you with the Orthodox family that has become a global sensation. Shtisel 3 has been described by the Israeli press as the greatest drama the country has produced and our event gives you access to the creative team responsible for that magic.

There is no better time than now to spoil yourself. 

You deserve some happiness! So visit www.seret-international.org and book your tickets today.

Amnesty at its nastiest

The predictability of Amnesty International’s inference – that Israel just vaccinates Jews, not Palestinians – was perhaps the allegation’s most disturbing aspect this week.

Forget that the Palestinian Authority insists it’ll run its own vaccination programme, thank you, or that Israeli Arabs are just as likely as Israeli Jews to be vaccinated, because that kind of thing gets in the way of a soundbite such as “institutional discrimination”. 

We always suspected that the pandemic would bring out the worst inclinations in people. That it brings the worst out of an organisation charged with protecting human rights is far more disappointing than surprising.
