S01E01 Becoming Parents
As Ali and Claire welcome their first child, Ali's family practise their version of the Muslim tradition of 40 days, looking after the new parents so they can be free to care for the baby.
Ivor is celebrating his 83rd birthday in an unusual way. He is having a second bar mitzvah, which happens to coincide with his 13-year-old grandson Zak's first bar mitzvah. The preparations for this milestone event take Ivor on a trip down memory lane to the area where he grew up, the market where he worked for 40 years and the grave of his beloved wife. Now he's happily living with his new partner of 12 years, Rita, and the bar mitzvah is the perfect opportunity to take stock of his life and make the most of growing older.
Life's pivotal moments - from becoming parents to losing a loved one. In times of challenge, crisis and change, how believers find strength and community through their faith.
