Under the Domim Tree [עץ הדומים תפוס]

Based on the book by the same name, which is the sequel to The Summer of Aviya. Aviya is a student in a Hadasim boarding school.

Every kid has their own hardship, and in dealing with their problems they become a stronger group. Aviya is a bit of an outsider, because she is "normal," but she exposes her own harsh story to the boy she loves, and they become a couple.
