Emmys

The film was set to be screened at the Docaviv Galilee festival in 2019 at a municipal auditorium in Ma’alot Tarshiha, but then-mayor Arkady Pomeranets canceled the screening.

“We all were in the same school trailer. We would eat hot links and bagels for breakfast every morning — very Black and Jewish of us,” Jurnee Smollett joked.

Leachman's publicist said in a statement that the actress died of natural causes at her home in Encinitas, California.

The award is intended to honor individuals or organizations who "cross-cultural boundaries to touch our common humanity," and, in some capacity, contribute to the quality of global television.

Two other Israeli series have won International Emmys in the comedy category: "Traffic Light" (Ramzor) and "Nevsu"

Unorthodox, which stars Israeli actress Shira Haas as an ultra-Orthodox woman who flees Brooklyn for Berlin, was nominated for eight awards.

The beloved series won every comedy category for its sixth and final season, and the younger Levy alone won four awards.

Haas, who was nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Actress in a Limited Series, looked lovely as she watched the Emmy broadcast from Israel.

"Unorthodox" was an unexpected hit with audiences around the world, some of whom were familiar with Haas from her previous role as another sometimes rebellious ultra-Orthodox woman in "Shtisel".
