Living in Israel I would be extremely interested in seeing this., 6 April 2009
Author: Marian Paroo from Tel Aviv

As I am a secular Israeli, I would be very interested in seeing this film.

Here, "halitza", as it's called, is nothing romantic and cute. There is no civil marriage, so if a Jewish widow wants to remarry, she MUST have it from her bro-in-law. This has been problematic when 1) the dead husband leaves a brother under the age of thirteen or 2) brother-in-law knows that charging her for doing giving it to her or 3) dead husbands family just wants to deny her the possibility of remarriage to be mean.

I know a fellow that wanted to marry a widow, but her late husbands family were asking for an astronomical price to set her free, so they went to Cyprus to marry.

We have the Hallmark channel, so I hope it eventually gets here.
