Srugim

Meet roommates Yifat and Hodaya, and their friends Reut, Nati and Amir -- five modern-Orthodox singles looking for love in Jerusalem as they approach the big 3-0. Captivating and alive with characters and story, this episode is what starts off the entire series.

Relationships get more complicated on Israel's hit dramatic series! Nati seeks refuge from bachelorhood at Yifat's place, but will she get the wrong idea? Hodaya faces a religious crisis, while Amir reads into Reut's request that he fix her bed. It is an episode of mis-interpretations in the name of love.

The plots thicken and boundaries are tested. Hodaya meets a handsome stranger on the bus -- will she cave in to curiosity? Yifat finds a way to confess her feelings for Nati...if he's open enough to see it. Amir needs a huge favor, but will Reut come through?

Kosher observance is tested in more ways than one. Hodaya starts dating her non-religious crush, which puts her into some compromising situations. Nati suspects the hospital cafeteria's kosher certification, and Yifat pursues a date with one of her clients.

Dating starts to get really confusing when Amir asks out Reut's younger sister, Nati hijacks Amir's internet dating account and gets into a pickle, and Yifat goes on a blind date with a not-so-mysterious stranger. Hodaya gets in trouble, will she go too far this time?

Things start to get complicated between Amir and his ex-wife; Reut absolutely refuses to take no for an answer from a reluctant Torah reading tutor; and Nati reconnects with an old flame, causing Yifat to rethink her feelings, but will he make a terrible mistake?

Sparks start to fly between Reut and her initially resistant Torah tutor, Hodaya's religious conflict finally erupts into a fight with her friends at Shabbat dinner, and will Yifat work up the courage to tell Nati how she really feels once and for all?

In a mix-up, Reut ends up with two dates at Shabbat dinner, Nati injures himself trying to escape the tension between he and Yifat, while Yifat is looking for an escape of her own with a move to an area away from Jerusalem and the pain of having been rejected.

Hodaya bathes in the mikveh, even though she is an unmarried woman and she continues to question her relationship; Yifat takes a leap of faith and moves away from Jerusalem to Ma'ale Elisha, and Nati tries to make different plans for Shabbat.

Reut and Amir visit Yifat at her new home, and Amir can't stop coming back, while Reut's boyfriend Yochai tries to prove himself to her, and Hodaya searches for answers regarding her forbidden love for Avri.

The bond builds between Amir and Yifat; Reut's boyfriend tries to get a job, he's still insecure about her career; Nati connects with a stranger at a hospital fundraiser; and Shabbat dinner is almost back to normal, except for the tension in the air.

Yifat is riddled with mixed emotions, in love with two different men - one who loves her and one who rejected her; sparks fly between Nati and Nitzan but will it last? And Hodaya's niece comes to visit, creating a world of trouble for her aunt.

Reut discovers that her sister is getting married which causes an unexpected stir of her emotions; Nitzan throws Nati a surprise birthday party much to his dismay as the distance builds between them; Amir and Yifat grow even closer, but is Amir being completely honest?

Season One comes to a close when Reut makes some serious changes in her life to regroup; Amir pursues Yifat seriously but might have made a mistake along the way; Hodaya swears to become "unreligious"; and Nati opens his eyes to an overdue realization.
