Kosher Beach

"The beach in Tel Aviv is only half an hour away from the Ultra-Orthodox Jewish town of Bnei Brak, but they are light years and worlds apart."

Synopsis

The coastline of Tel Aviv draws beachgoers eager to find peace and relaxation in the Mediterranean. Among these, are residents of Bnei Brak, a closed orthodox suburb who frequent a gender-segregated stretch of seaside closed off to the neighboring gay beaches by a modesty fence. The film explores the importance of this kosher beach, defying the wishes of rabbis fearful of the beach's "immorality."
