Synopsis
Two wayward British teenagers experience strict parenting on the other side of the world, as Gemma Lyons from Farnborough and Jack Travers from Winchester travel to Israel.
For a week they must live under the religious rules of the Sha-ked family. The Orthodox Jewish Sha-keds and their five children live in a gated community half an hour from Jerusalem, where every resident follows the strict religious codes. The Sha-keds expect the British teens to follow the community rules of modest dress for girls and no long hair or make up for boys, rules that the teens immediately struggle with.
Over the week, the teens challenge the codes of modesty and respect demanded of them, and struggle to overcome their own defiant characters. Can the Sha-keds' Orthodox parenting and views effect any change in the British teens?
