Trailer for the series "Hanshi" (HOT)
Kylian Mbappe made history yesterday as the first soccer player to score a hat-trick in the World Cup final.
And what about Israeli television?
Talia Bertfeld is the only player to score a hat trick this year, when she appeared in three of the most talked about series of the season.
It started with "Who Heard of a Farm and Nava" and with "The Commander", and continued about two weeks ago with "Hanshi".
The hot series appeared on HOT about two weeks ago, and immediately became one of the hottest Israeli series of the winter.
In addition to the reviews pouring in the local media, this week it was also learned that it will be shown next month at the Sundance Film Festival, in a prestigious setting that will have only three other series from around the world.
The series was created by Aliza Hanovich, who also stars in it as an ultra-Orthodox from Brooklyn who comes to Israel.
As part of her adventures, she stays with an ultra-Orthodox family, where the mother is played by none other than Lehya Griner, and her daughter - Talia Bertfeld.
"Leah is the funniest woman in the world. She choked everyone at any given moment. She also called me a 'slut', because at the beginning of the series I was a day after a breakup and then two weeks later there was another filming day, and I told her I was dating someone else. It was fun ", says Bertfeld in an interview with Walla!
culture.
"I fell hard in love with Eliza from the second I saw her. Every time I stand next to her, I talk like a fool and stutter and say only nonsense. I would like her to act in all the series and write at least ninety percent of them."
Your character says in the episode "We don't live in the Middle Ages anymore".
In light of everything that is happening now in Israel, does this sentence still seem true to you?
"Yes, because there is still plumbing and showers. In the rest of the plains, something discouraging happens every now and then that sets us back. I don't have the strength for them to start burning lesbians in

In addition to her acting roles, Bertfeld is of course also a social media host and a thriving stand-up comedian.
Her show, "TikTok's Bad Girl", will go up next week and in mid-January at the same time, and both shows are full to capacity.
"It's extremely exciting and it's the best feeling in the world, it feels like the opposite of 'Abia's summer' and that's rare," she says about it.
"I plan to continue performing until I find something else I'm good at, then it will be possible to buy tickets for the next performances."
On the show's official website there is a summary of a line - "I am also a lesbian and I say it several times during the show, whoever bothers him doesn't come".
Exactly how many times do you say that?
"I wrote the sentence jokingly, of course, but behind the laughing I really had some fear and a need to clarify what people were going to see. Suddenly I was afraid that people who don't follow me and don't know me will just buy tickets, and then come and it won't go down their throats. It's probably still something that scares me a little To talk about him - so as a defender, I do it in the most extroverted way."
In an age full of definitions, how exactly do you define "lesbian" compared to other definitions, and since when is this the definition you use and are okay with?
"I define a lesbian as a girl who likes to be with girls and not with boys. I've been using this self-definition since the age of 15, but I started saying it out loud and feeling comfortable with it around the age of 19."
If you see someone from "Otzma Yehudit" in the audience or someone who voted for them, what would you say to them?
"I hate confrontations. I want everyone who comes to my concert to come only because they love me and want to laugh.

It's hard to believe, but nevertheless there is another series in which Bertfeld did not appear - "Rehearsals".
"I get burned every day that I haven't played it, but there's nothing I can do," she says.
"I admire Noa Koller even before this series - since the days of 'Going over the wall' and 'Wake up the bear'. When 'Rehearsals' came out, the admiration got out of control. I made videos about Noa, I tried to bring her to a workshop in the army, I printed her on the shield of my phone, I was acting crazy. For some reason, that didn't deter her."
So Bertfeld did not appear in "Rehearsals" nor will she appear in the future, because the series will no longer have a second season, but she still got to collaborate with Kohler, who took it upon herself to be the content editor for the young comedian's show.
"The first time we met, I was just after a breakup, and she gave me great advice," Bertfeld recalls.
"After that we had the opportunity to meet a few more times, and when I started working on the show I was looking for directors. I offered it to Aharon Geva and Miki Trieste, who directed 'Hanshi', but they were busy editing and abandoned me. I started working alone and realized that I don't need a director - I need Order and editing.
"I called Noa and more or less forced her to do it.
The first work meeting was perfect and helped me understand exactly what I wanted and what the direction of the performance was.
From then on, Noa met with me almost every week.
I still don't understand what her interest was in helping me so much.
She is simply the best and most generous person in the world and I owe her my life.
The DNA of the show wouldn't be the same without her, she gave me the courage to tell on stage things that I didn't tell my psychologist."
"When 'Returns' came out, my admiration for Noa Kohler also got out of control."

Not only in front of Noa and in front of your psychologist.
Even in interviews with you, you speak honestly and openly.
For example, in an interview with my colleague Zohar Orbach in "Mako" you stated that you are "ugly" does it still hurt you a little when you say such things nonchalantly?
"Yes, it hurts me. But that's the truth - that's how I feel. I don't bother with it too much and I don't do active things to improve my appearance either, but I don't like it. I think success balances my low image. She clarifies There are things at stake that I am good at, so there is no reason to obsessively think about the fact that I don't have a neck."
Are publicity and success coins that lift the ego, balance the low external image and perhaps also help to find a relationship?
"Yes, it helps - especially as a lesbian. It's a small community, and when you're known and declared as a lesbian more girls want to go out with you, that's what I had at least. Anyway, I'm in a relationship now, and I'm sure I'll marry this girl and we'll have the funniest and rarest children in the world, so all this Not relevant to me."

A post shared by Talia Bartfeld (@talyabart)
I recently read Seth Rogen's book again and he writes there in relation to stand-up that "comedy is pain".
you agree?
And if so, to what extent does comedy help you deal with pain and do you think it's ultimately an effective solution?
"I don't know how to testify in general - there is also comedy that doesn't come from pain and makes me laugh. My comedy is one hundred percent pain - pain that seems so absurd to me, that it's already becoming funny. I don't think comedy is an effective solution. I'm not trying to solve pain, but I think comedy is an excellent way to experience it. It's much easier to deal with things when you share them, and it's much more fun to share when it's on a stage in front of 400 people who bought tickets to hear how they're going to rape you and laugh about it."
Besides your shows being sold out, what else do you and Taylor Swift have in common?
This is not a rhetorical question, I really want to know.
"We both love the world of doing business and money and we are both girls."
The opposite of "Abia's Summer".

Who is the oldest fan?
Who is the youngest fan?
And on the other hand, who is the biggest troll you've come across?
"The most famous fan is my mother who is in love with me. In Holon everyone knows her, and beauticians all over the country know her, so she is considered famous. I have been a fan of Keren Pels since the age of 13. If you scroll far back on my Instagram, you can see all the photos of her that I uploaded in the division, So when she came to my show, it was crazy for me."
Without spoilers, what can you reveal to us about your character in the episodes of "Hanshi" that have not yet aired?
"She likes to dance in a synagogue."
