We'll meet again
I'm usually not into this kind of TV shows,
but this one was thought through very carefully and in a meaningful way.
The story is about five Israelis who in the transformation of their closest relatives to Haredi way of life, eventually lost contact with them. Some for several years, some decades. On their journey to attempt revive the relationship, they're moving to the most orthodox neighborhood in Jerusalem, where they will meet people who will help them in finding their relatives and be their emissaries in approaching and helping them bridge the gaps.
But on one condition - for the initial 36 hours they will follow them everywhere, home, family, observing their daily activity and life in the community - but all along that part of their interaction they must remain silent. After which they get to open up, get to know each other's personal story, and get out what was kept in their hearts before meeting and after being around them, the things that angered them, that conflicts with their attitudes, and otherwise impressed and changed.
However along that process, as they get to talk to their emissaries, who are supposed to help them, they also find out that instead of being from the "other side" they are actually them and their lost relatives in one person, and have much more in common with their specific personal story than apparent.
For example, Ya'akov Buzaglo a famous retired soccer player, who himself lived in that neighborhood, meets young Rabbi 'Ofir who beyond regular Torah lessons also couches his students in martial arts as a way of breaking the distance to mentor them and develop stronger connection. El'ad Mizrahi a children actor meets with Reuven, who not only happens to be from the same Rabbinic court as his twin brother, but actually became Haredi following a serious accident which he miraculously survived leaving but a broken nail on a toe, exactly as El'ad experienced weeks prior to joining the project. Shosh Ohr who lost touch with her eldest son, meets Ye'el a mother of 11 who works as a government employee, who while trying to find brides simultaneously for her four eldest sons, goes though struggles with a younger son rebelling against her care, while realizing that her judgment of Ya'el was ignorant upon learning that she almost lost him months after birth due to a stroke.
Gil Pinkas met Refael an education advisor who managed to find a correct expression and balance for his passions and talents becoming Haredi with close support of his family, unlike what happened to his brother, while managing to open him up to Jerusalem. And Bela Raboy who on the path to connect with her father meets Dr. Nourit, arts collector, researcher and Torah teacher for women, but her personal story is not much revealed, only as much as a very noble woman capable and willing to give her support and help.
And through all that conflict and transformation they proceed together trying to locate their relatives, first approaching them indirectly, to eventually arrange for them to meet...
(It's probably going to be relatively short, 5-6 chapters.
Subtitles might also be helpful for those learning Hebrew)

Israel Hayom has learned that for the first time, Israel's National Planning and Construction Authority has decided on an action plan to preserve Israel's open areas as part of its overall strategy for the year 2040.
The plan includes the location and mapping of some 500 wet and dry natural habitats, the location of some 400 biodiverse areas, and proposals for 80 new nature reserves to protect them. Additionally, some 55 of the country's existing nature reserves are slated for expansion.
