Synopsis "Pride and Prejudice and the Parsha"

"It is a truth universally acknowledged that a community in possession of an older single woman must marry her off. However little known the feelings or views of the single in question is unimportant-nor is it vital to determine if she already has family acting on her behalf: she is single, therefore, they must do their duty by her and see her to the marriage canopy." The Jewish community of Boxton, Vermont has a serious problem. Six serious problems, actually. Their names are Ariella, Yocheved, Shuli, Batsheva, Malca Dina and Liora. These young women aren't getting any younger. Fortunately, a local high school has just hired a young, eligible bachelor to serve as dorm counselor -- and he's brought his best friend along. Could it be that things are looking up for the single women of Boxton? Join the girls as they go through the ups and downs of traditional Jewish dating, otherwise known as "the Parsha", in this retelling of Jane Austen's classic novel.

She was a British novelist who lived during the Georgian era. She was born in the rectory of Steventon (Hampshire). Her family belonged to the British gentry (rural nobility or agrarian bourgeoisie), a context she never left and in which she set all her works, always revolving around the marriage of her protagonist.

She has been portrayed in cinema on numerous occasions, sometimes faithfully reproduced, like the 1940 classic Pride and Prejudice directed by Robert Z. Leonard and starring Greer Garson and Laurence Olivier, and other times adapted to modern times, as is the case with Clueless, a loose adaptation of Emma. Other versions include Sense and Sensibility from 1995; Mansfield Park from 2000; and Pride and Prejudice in 2004 (directed by Gurinder Chadha) and in 2005 (directed by Joe Wright). However, the most faithful and perfect version of the book Pride and Prejudice to date is the series presented by the BBC starring Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle. The interest that Jane Austen's work continues to arouse today shows the relevance of her thought and the influence she has had on subsequent literature. Her life has also been portrayed in film with the movie Becoming Jane (2007)
