The Israeli Broadcasting Corporation announces a new season for the docu-reality series, “We’ll Meet Again,” whose premiere season aired two years ago. The series returns in a new season, which provides a rare glimpse into the ultra-Orthodox world on a topic that is not often talked about in public: the complex relationship between those in question and their ultra-Orthodox family members, with whom a rift has formed following the departure from religion. In the premiere season, among the participants was also Yaakov Buzaglo, who revealed a family rift with his brother who repented.
At the center of the second season are five heroes in a slightly different concept to that of the debut season: three ultra-Orthodox mothers from Jerusalem, who are looking for their children who have left the religion and as a result the connection with them has been severed. Alongside them, two young people embark on the opposite journey in question, with whom their relatives severed ties after leaving the ultra-Orthodox world. The series is expected to air in early March.
The mothers move for eight days to the most frightening place for them – Tel Aviv, and the two young men who left in question return to the places from which they fled in Bnei Brak. The heroes will be accompanied by “messengers” who have experienced the pain themselves and will assist them in the journey to renew the relationship. 36 difficult hours of silence will pass over the heroes at the beginning of the journey, but at the end they will break the thunderous silence and set out with the “apostles” on a shaky and exposed journey, in order to unite with their loved ones.
Will they be able to cross the abyss between the worlds at the end of the journey? Will they meet again after years of disconnection?
The five new heroes of the series:
Moriah Levy – mother of 12. Her son, Ibrahimi, enlisted in the army and has since begun the process of coming out in question. His mother is unable to accept the change in his life – and the connection is severed. Moriah is a Lithuanian ultra-Orthodox, conservative and devout, who spares no criticism of the secular world and is not moved by the achievements of her son – who served in 8200.
