Winner of the Israeli Oscar for Best Documentary, this film documents the clandestine struggle of women fighting for the right to love women within the confines of their Orthodox communities in Jerusalem. All are religiously committed and members of a secret support group called “the Ortho-dykes.”  Some have learned to live dual lives in secret, while one’s husband permits his wife to see her lesbian lover twice a week. And another declares her sexuality openly because she believes, “lies are the worst sins on earth.”

Co-sponsored by Bet Mishpachah, Washington DC’s Egalitarian Synagogue Embracing a Diversity of Sexual and Gender Identities; and Reel Affirmations
