Shtisel is a Hebrew language Israeli television show, which describes the life of a “Hardi” (Ultra-Orthodox Jewish Family), which lives at Geula, Jerusalem. Shulem Shtisel, the Shtisel patriarch and local rabbi, as well as the other families in the family as featured in the series. The show takes place in a Haredi, internet-free neighborhood.
