For anyone who missed the heartwarming charm of SHTISEL - KUGEL has arrived. This prequel delves into the past lives of Nuchem and Libbi, a father and daughter living in Antwerp’s Orthodox Jewish community, before their move to Israel. Nuchem, a witty jewelry dealer, makes his living selling both gems and tall tales to widowed women, while Libbi teaches at seminary, but her true passion lies in writing. Both are natural storytellers in their own ways. In the meantime, Nuchem and his wife Yides, are on the brink of separation, but can’t seem to find the right match for Libbi before their impending divorce. When Libbi has an unexpected encounter with a handsome, slightly odd Orthodox young man on the tram, it’s love at first sight. But who’s ever heard of an upstanding young couple who met on a tram?
