Shababnikim

Shababnikim (Hebrew: שבאבניקים, The New Black) is an Israeli comedy television series aired in 2017. The show includes five 30 minute episodes on lives of four ultra-Orthodox Jewish men.[1]

In Hebrew, a "shababnik" is a term for an young ultra-Orthodox person who leaves his or her faith in some regards but not in others. Shababnikim don't leave the religious community, but bend the boundaries of what is acceptable behavior in Jewish law.[2]
