The highly anticipated third season of “Shtisel” won’t premiere on Netflix until spring 2021, but Temple Emanu-El Streicker center has a Hanukkah present for fans of the hit Israeli series. On Dec. 17, it will host a world premiere, virtual advance live screening of the season’s first episode, preceded by a Q&A with cast members Michael Aloni, Shira Haas, Neta Riskin and Doval’e Glickman and a candle-lighting to mark the end of the Festival of Lights.
The Yes Studios series, set in Jerusalem’s ultra-Orthodox community, has been wildly popular since its premiere on Netflix in 2018. “The show is beloved across the world both for the window it provides into a community few of us fully understand and for the realization it evokes about how much we have in common with the ‘Shtisel’ family,” said Dr. Gady Levy, Streicker Center Executive Director. “We are extremely proud to celebrate Hanukkah with the cast and their global community of fans.”
“The new season of ‘Shtisel’ is everything viewers have come to expect: touching, gentle storytelling and characters which we all adore,” added Yes Studios Managing Director Danna Stern. “We are excited to share the first episode with the growing and global community of fans that love and support this show and its incredible cast.”
The event begins at 2 p.m. PST and tickets are available for $36. Click here to register.
