WINNER OF THE SAPIR AWARD

When Elisheva Fogel, the celebrated head of a Jerusalem think tank, is accused of embezzling millions, the carefully maintained image of her prominent family begins to unravel. As her three adult children struggle to contain the fallout, old resentments surface, loyalties shift, and public scrutiny grows increasingly relentless.

What begins as a personal scandal soon becomes a sharp and darkly comic portrait of privilege, ambition, and social hypocrisy. With her trademark wit, psychological insight, and keen eye for human frailty, Noa Yedlin exposes the fault lines beneath an influential Jerusalem family while holding up a mirror to Israel’s cultural and intellectual elite.

A compelling blend of family drama, biting satire, and incisive social commentary, House Arrest explores the fragile relationship between reputation, power, and self-deception.
