I just watched it again on a DVD that a friend lent me. I enjoyed it all over again.

and the DVD has these fascinating extras like behind the scenes how the movie was made, how irreligious and religious Jews worked together, what it was like for Shuli Rand (Moshe) to get back to acting as a frum person

you can see people auditioning for different parts, scenes that were deleted, all the cast members singing "V'Ata Kadosh" ...

Is there a way to see it in English or is it only available in Hebrew? I would prefer it in English or at least with sub titles.

Want to hear something cool.

I was shopping in Zol Po last week and walking out I ran into the couple from Ushpizin! It was like they just walked out of their film, wearing the exact same clothing.

It was pretty cute, shame I didn't have a digital camera on me.

I finally got the DVD from our local public library. It's a very touching movie.

I dont think Ushpizin portrayed frum jews in a good light at all! I thought it was very mocking and makes you think that all frum ppl are crazy. for frum ppl its funny to watch but for others?? I would NOT be showing it to not frum/non-jewish people.

you should just know that the movie was made by and with frum jews. the first time I saw it I was in teh theater and there were frum and non frum jews in te audience and I did not see anyone being rude or anything.

Ditto on liking Ushpizin. We loved it, and have recommended it and shown it to several not frum people, who also found it very inspiring. One not frum guy we know watched it on Sukkos(on Chol HaMoed), and asked my husband if he could come with him to shul, so that he could daven with a lulav and esrog like the guy in the movie. I think that movie really reiterated to me the power of media, because it was so inspiring, and at least this movie was inspiring with our values, as opposed to all the other stuff which is absolutely not our values. I am just waiting for them to make another movie!

I just read an interview with SHuli Rand. He and his wife are in fact working on another movie, this ine dealing with the interplay btween American and Israeli jews. BTW, the interview was so beautiful, you could see why the movie had such great messages. they started out with RNachman's teachings as a premise and then wove it into a plot. I have a nieghbor who's a parapligic and nneds to be in bed all day so that her infection doesn't spread. This woman is on a high level. She doesn't even watch many movies only those that have been reccomended, maybe once a month. She LOVED ushpizin, it was a kiddush Hashem
I don't - can't read the types of books you described . I would quicker choose a junky romance as being more tastfu then something that's such a chilul Hashem. They make me feel literally sick
