Jerusalem provides the same services and attractions for religious singles that Tel Aviv provides for secular ones. A university, entertainment centers, (kosher) restaurants, and cultural institutions. In the Rehavia, Katamon, Nachlaot neighborhoods and the German Colony the "Jerusalem Swamp" came into existence: a new social class of single men and women in their thirties, a large number of whom are very well educated and intelligent who do not find their place within the existing religious frameworks. They live in rented apartments scattered throughout the city. Some of these young persons are students and others already have prestigious jobs. Almost all of them are seeking love and an escape from the situation in which they have been entrapped - a temporary waiting period ("until marriage") which has turned into a permanent situation. Many of the single religious people feel that the traditions and religious law upon which they were raised and still observe did not prepare them to deal with the situation of adults who are not married and which do not provide solutions to the problems that they confront. Many allow themselves to take exceptions and cut corners, particularly in those areas concerning the relationships between men and women. Every Sabbath the single men and women gather in certain synagogues and eat together with friends in rented apartments that are all similar to each other. Every Friday night, young people can be seen walking through the streets carrying bags: the women bringing salad or pudding, and the men with bottles of wine or soda. This new and alternative family provides those things that the traditional home is no longer able to bestow. Once each month they go home to their parents, absorb some of their parents' despair and some of the pity of the neighbors and then they rush back to Jerusalem and promise themselves that they won't go home anymore - until the next time. This is the background of the series "Knitted." (named for the knitted skullcaps worn by it's characters) This is a light drama that uses the extreme situations in which those in the "Swamp" find themselves in their attempts to find a mate and to live normal lives within the tight constraints that religion and tradition place upon them. The series creates strong identity with the characters who, after all, seek what everyone seeks - warmth and love. The writers of the series are a group of young people who actually live or have lived in the "Jerusalem Swamp." They are intimately acquainted with the characters that they created. They write about experiences that they or their friends have undergone. This provides deep emotional truth in the most extreme comic and dramatic moments of the scenario.
