In Hebrew, a "shababnik" is a term for a young Haredi person who leaves his or her faith in some regards but not in others. Shababnikim don't leave the religious community, but bend the boundaries of what is acceptable behavior in Jewish law.[3] The name comes from the Arabic word shabāb meaning "youth".

According to the creator, a second season is in production, but has not yet been picked up by international broadcasters.[1]

Awards

The show was nominated for awards in eight categories by the Israeli Television Academy, winning four, including Best Comedy, Best Comedy Script, and Best Comedy Actor.[4][5]
