:02:00
It's been sitting in the same spot
since Dad last parked it there.
:02:04
Since these are hard times for the
people of Israel, Mom also decided
:02:08
to join the founding group of
a new settlement in the West Bank.
:02:12
But first she has to pass Motke
Kupfer's acceptance committee.
:02:16
This is Motke.
:02:18
He likes to have his picture taken
with important people.
:02:22
Mom always says that Motke
:02:24
is one of the most influential
people in Religious Zionism.
:02:27
But I think that my father
didn't like him much.
:02:31
Shula, his wife,
is a good friend of my mother's
:02:34
and Ya'ir, their youngest son,
is in my youth group.
:02:38
Even the Minister of Interior
came to his Bar Mitzva.
:02:41
Okay, tell us what you do.
:02:44
I'm a construction engineer,
I work for a building company.
:02:47
I'm an insurance agent.
- I'm a lawyer in a Tel-Aviv office.
:02:50
I'm a special-ed teacher. - I'm an
English teacher for 5th graders.
:02:54
Tell him what you do in the army.
:02:57
In reserve duty,
I'm a battalion commander.
:03:01
I think that these days we
should all take the initiative
:03:05
and strengthen these settlements.
:03:08
We feel that this
is the need of the hour.
:03:10
And quality of life for the kids.
We couldn't afford that in the city.
:03:14
It's really important to us,
to have a house with a lawn...
:03:17
We couldn't afford that in the city.
- Yes, of course.
:03:20
But that's not the main reason...
:03:22
If you were on
the acceptance committee,
:03:24
what kind of people would you pick
as your neighbors?
:03:28
People like us, I think.
:03:29
People like us.
:03:30
Mainly people like us.
:03:33
People like you.
:03:35
You know, establishing a settlement
isn't just having meetings.
:03:39
It's also hard physical work.
Are you sure you can handle it?
:03:43
Alone?
- I'm not alone.
:03:47
I won't lie to you. The number
of trailers we have is limited.
:03:50
And if you move into one of them...
:03:52
it means one less man
for guard duty,
:03:55
one less for the prayer quorum.
:03:57
It's something I need to consider.
:03:58
I can't complete a quorum,
but I can do guard duty.
