JEWS have seen the popular Israeli TV series Shtisel at least once; Pakistanis should see it twice, if only to understand their Abrahamic DNA.
Shtisel is set unusually in a community of ultra-Orthodox Haredi Jews, living in the Geula quarter of today’s Jerusalem. Despite the modernity surrounding them, they adhere to traditional codes of dress, behaviour and religious observances. The men sport beards and payess (curled sidelocks), wear long black overcoats over their tallit katan (small cloak with hanging tassels) and raised felt homburg hats.

The prudish Haredis ensure the sexes maintain a chaste social distance. For example, an unmarried man and woman will not sit in the same room without leaving the door ajar.
