Watch “Srugim” on American Television — in English
Written by TheJewishChannel
“Srugim” — the much-beloved Israeli TV series about Modern Orthodox Jewish singles — is now airing on The Jewish Channel.
And for the first time, you can watch it even if you don’t know Hebrew: English subtitles have been added for this American TV run.

as a srugim addict, i am offended by that ad. it makes the show look vapid, just a step above the real world or something. it’s not indicative of the show at all! the show it well-written, well acted and it’s not just about dating. it delves into (blind)faith, zionism, religion, conformity etc. but i am glad it is getting more exposure. srugim is a good kind of disturbing – the kind that makes you think. oh yeah – and the soundtrack is aaaawesome.
Oh God. I agree with Jules. Ugh, American Judaism. “Did I mention they’re both Orthodox? L’Chaim!”
If this was my introduction to Srugim, I would never watch it. But living in Israel, I love it.
Hey, they gotta sell it to Americans, give them a break. It was kinda clever. Have you ever seen Soap? Anyhow… yes, Srugim is great though for a show on Katamon singles, it’s weird that there are no Americans or Canadians or new Olim at all. Katamon is rotten with yanks.
I’m pretty sure it’s only a matter of time before I’m hired to write the “Yifat Visits Her Cousin on the Upper West Side” crossover episode.
ck – there was 1 yankee character. remember when hodaya’s guy slept over and he needed tfilin in the morning? he tells her to borrow for a neighbour and she does? and that said neighbour is a north-american olah woman?! remember the hissy fit the guy has about refusing to wear women’s tfilin? so yeah, the only north americans that live in katamon (accrdg to srugim) are “ayzeh lezbit reformit” as that guy calls her…
