Maya Wertheimer asked last night (Tuesday) to share with her hundreds of thousands of followers on Instagram an investigation she conducted as part of the preparations for filming the third season of the comedy drama starring "Shababnikim".
Wertheimer's investigation included a visit to the Holy City in order to get to know more deeply the world of Deborah, the character she plays in the series.
So what does she think about the gap between the ultra-orthodox and the secular world, what does she propose to bridge it, and why did she walk around with a headscarf part of the time?

"Today I am in Jerusalem on a bee day, and the more I learn, the more I realize how much I know nothing about a world that is an hour's drive away and sometimes feels like a parallel world to me," Wertheimer wrote.
"Every time we start shooting for the Sheavniks, I have days that I spend in Jerusalem and Bnei Brak as part of the work I do as a 'character investigation'. When I enter a character, then I enter her world, which I want to study and recognize as if it were my world and try to understand it from the root ", she explained.
Later, Wertheimer asked to summarize the visit to Jerusalem and to talk about the need, from her point of view, for bridging steps between the sectors.
"I returned home on a cloud. How much I learned! How strange it is to me that we don't all have days like this to get to know the other side. It is so important, so heart-opening. We live an hour away from each other, and know nothing. And we live in tribes instead As one people. I really think that such a thing should be initiated. A day that precisely in the socio-social, socio-economic situation we are in in the State of Israel - that we live in a tribal way, so close to each other but yet so far. It's like different worlds. I Of course you are talking about ultra-orthodox and secular society. We don't know each other so much. They don't know us and we don't know them. And we are only exposed to extremism and that is a mistake," she stated.

Maya later referred to a private message she received from a group that noticed that in one of the photos she posted, she immortalized herself with a head covering.
"The fact that you are wearing a head covering reveals that Deborah is married and those who watch on Netflix don't know that because there is no second season. It's a spoiler," they commented.
"But I didn't go to take pictures, I went as Maya," replied Wertheimer.
"I just want to respect the environment I was in today, and part of the time I walked with a head covering."
