Beauty queen of Jerusalem
As a multi-generational period drama on Netflix, The Beauty Queen of Jerusalem unfolds as a sweeping, emotionally rich saga based on Sarit Yishai-Levi’s bestselling novel. The series follows the Armoza family — a deeply rooted Sephardic-Jerusalem clan — across decades of upheaval and transformation. Set against the shifting landscapes of Ottoman rule, the resistance to the British Mandate, the birth of the State of Israel, and the Jerusalem of the 1940s, the intertwined lives of the Armoza sisters take center stage. Their stories, along with those of their parents, children, and neighbors in the Ohel Moshe neighborhood, reveal a world alive with tradition, folklore, and the weight of inherited expectations. Beneath the beauty and honor that define the family’s public image, however, lies a legacy marked by secrets, heartbreak, and a generations-old curse — a quiet force shaping their loves, losses, and destinies.
