Shuli Rand and Scout Grant, Melech Zilberschlag and Alona Saar: The new couples, in which one side is ultra-Orthodox, undermine the secular image of the ultra-Orthodox: it turns out that passions are also burning there


A man and a woman stand under the canopy.

We know both of them, we have often seen them on TV and read about them in the newspaper.

When their relationship was first revealed it seemed was weird, different.

He is an ultra-Orthodox with a long beard, and she is a secular who will never be forgotten for drinking urine on the air.

And now, everything seems so natural, so real, pure and clean love between a man and a woman, a who-knows-how chapter in a life story saturated with upheavals and changes and dramas, which are all love.

At the same time, you can watch a story on Facebook and Instagram, in which a young loving couple appears, to whom we were also exposed through the media.

She is an actress, the daughter of a minister in the Israeli government, who was the one who came out against her father because she chose to go out with an Arab.

He is an ultra-Orthodox with long wigs who skips between worlds, a son to parents whose faith is their home and fortress.

This relationship, too, seemed strange at first, and is now an integral part of the landscape.

It's not a gimmick, it's love.

One can talk about how beautiful the connection between the different worlds is.

How exciting it is possible, how much we end up with one day.

To say that there is a bridge and a connection, to warm up in the light of unity and patience and listening.

But the relationship stories of Scout Grant and Shuli Rand and Melech Zilberschlag and Alona Saar have meaning, beyond being the beautiful face of the reconciliation order of Israeli society: they show Haredim in the sense of love.

Secularists are accustomed to thinking of the ultra-Orthodox as one black stick, which has nothing to do with choice and free will and matters at the heart of a thing and a half thing.

After all, they marry in a match, and a lot of children, and everything is under laws and legalities and obligations.

And they do not choose, choose for them.

Personal desire and feelings really have no meaning.

What about these people and love, this thing that secular society has been sanctifying and recognizing as the most important thing in the world for so many years?

So in the beginning was "Stisl," a drama series whose power was that it provided a glimpse into a world far from us, and showed how close it was.

Who gave birth to characters like Kiva, whose love for him is the drug of life, driven by a passion for women and creativity. And within the family in which he grew up and within the society in which he lives, he still insists. Of his sister - everyone is looking, in their own way, for the path to happiness, and everyone is willing to go a different distance to find it.

And now it's not TV anymore, it's reality.

People in black and white can, it turns out, look for different shades.

And they love, there is inner combustion and passion and lust and search.

These people are not the ultra-Orthodox people we are told about, they are round and full human beings, and it is quite possible to understand how one can fall in love with them and give up for them.

Love is a beautiful and exciting thing, and one of the only things that will probably stay forever.

Everyone wants to love.

Also ultra-Orthodox.
