Gai Shtienberg: My essay encompasses a six month documentary dedicated to an unusual man who lives in the heart of the Jewish orthodox community. Meir is married to Nava (formerly Melanie) and father of six. In the Philippines, he met Melanie. It was love at first sight. When he was 22, and she turned 18, they got married. Upon their return to Israel, and after a slow process of several months, Meir started turning to Judaism. "Force majeure" is how he sees his return to religious faith. His wife Nava has chosen to follow the path in his footsteps as well.
Meir and Nava raise their children in Jerusalem.
