Kosher Beach

Two generations of Orthodox Jewish women from a very closed community frequent the “Kosher Beach” in Tel Aviv. The beach represents a refuge where they are stripped of their daily obligations, and the tensions between the generations is exposed.

Synopsis

It's only a half hour drive from Bnei-Brak, a closed Orthodox city, to Tel Aviv's shore. But for the women going there it's light years away. "The Kosher Beach" is a gated and secluded 100 meter-long strip of beach with dedicated days for women and men to bathe separately. Only a wooden fence separates between the freedom of the gay beach and them. The "Brave Bunch," a secret female orthodox sisterhood, arrive to what is a source of quiet sanity for them, and they consider it a safe haven away from social and family problems: their own private and free heaven. Here they can be themselves, take a deep ocean breath and open their hearts to the sea, until the day the Rabbis try to close the beach. What will the girls do? Will they give in or fight?

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 7

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
