For years, Israeli cinema chose to ignore the world of faith and religion. At the beginning of the new millennium, a significant change took place, and the religious world made its way into Israeli cinema with momentum. We will discuss films such as The Arrangement, Beyond the Walls, The Supervisors, and others, and analyze their significance.
