Shtisel – A Superb Melodrama

I had my say on things Abrahamic in this poem:: https://alteritas.net/pastis/inventory/genesis-11-25

That read, #Shtisel is a superb melodrama about an extended #Haredi family in Jeruslem. In Hebrew with occasional lashes of #Yiddish, it is deeply comic, yet casuistic and poetic in a Talmudic sense.

 


 

Just as wisdom has made a crown for one’s head, so, too, humility has made a sole for one’s foot.

— Yitzhak ben Eleazar, Jerusalem Talmud(Shabbat8b)
