    I cried a little while I reflected a lot. Beautifully told story. Wonderfully acted. Etsy's journey was relatable not because she was Jewish but because she was a young woman on a journey to womanhood, independence, Self-efficacy

    FAQ7

    • Does this show contain any blood/gore?
    • i didn't understand why do they shave their headwhen they get married ?
    • What was the second song Esty sang at her audition? From the story arc I thought it was a liturgical song, customarily sung by a male cantor and proscribed for a female singer.
