Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The original Talmudic Bruriah was legendary for her scholarship—until a story emerged 'proving' women are fickle, widely considered a later patriarchal insertion. This film dares to ask who wrote that ending and why.
Director Avi Kushnir, better known as a comedian, made this his dramatic feature debut—reportedly facing significant backlash from religious communities for even touching the story.
