Adults supported by Kisharon have been busy fulfilling an order for 50 sets of costume tzitzit for Disobedience, the new film starring Rachel McAdams and Rachel Weisz.
Tzitzit strings are being tied to lengths of elastic which actors in the film will wear around their waist giving the impression they are wearing real tzitzit.
Former Kisharon employee Leibel Cowan is advising on the production of the film and needed to source the tzitzit. He came up with this innovative idea and approached Kisharon’s Employment and Opportunities Manager Shlomo Weltman, who organised the work at Kisharon.
Disobedience, the story of a woman who returns to her orthodox Jewish home after the death of her father, is based on the novel by Jewish writer Naomi Alderman. Some scenes were shot in Golders Green last month.
