TJC is proud to present the U.S. Jewish Television Return of Srugim, the most talked-about series on Israeli TV!

Applauded for its true-to-life and nuanced portrayal of the modern-Orthodox community in Israel, Srugim follows five single friends looking for love in Jerusalem, while adhering to a religious lifestyle. (The title “Srugim” refers to the style of knit skullcap that is often worn by modern-Orthodox men in Israel.)

Rave reviews describe the series as “groundbreaking” (Israelity.com), “refreshing and clever” (Jerusalem.com), and “hugely popular among religious and secular Israelis alike” (Ynet News).

The 15 complete episodes of “Srugim” Season 1, with English subtitles, will be available in the TJC Original Series category, starting August 25th, 2010! See the schedule below to see when each episode premieres. Each episode will be available for five weeks at a time.
