The opening as it read in 2025

The Skies are Closer in Homesh ( Hebrew : בחומש קרוב לשמיים ), also called Hitna'ari ( Hebrew : התנערי ) is a 2004 documentary film that follows a newlywed Jewish couple through their first few years of married life in the Israeli settlement of Homesh in Samaria as they experience, and recover from, a terrorist attack. It is based on the real-life experience of director Menora Hazani and her family who lived on the settlement. Produced by Manora Hasani-Katzover, daughter of Benny Katzover , co-founder of ultranationalist activist group Gush Emunim , it has been described as "clearly an almost didactic, right-wing film". Journal of Film and Video . 60 (3/4). Among the films mentioned, only one, The Skies Are Closer in Homesh, the family video by Manora Hazani-Katzover (daughter of Benny Katzover, one of the founders of Gush Emunim and a leader of the settlement movement in the occupied territories), recreates the link to the soil. Filmed in two settlements in the northern West Bank where terrorist attacks had occurred, it is clearly an almost didactic, right-wing film.
