In this Episode Polina is hired by a former rabbi from Texas, USA. She is to be his translator at the meeting with his long-lost relatives from Ukraine. Before agreeing to work for him, Polina ran a quick background check and discovered that her new employer is a complete opposite to her: conservative American republican, obviously highly religious. She was excited! It was a rare opportunity to connect and try to understand someone who is coming from a very different background. He picks up Polina at her place in Central Israel and they head North. They are to spend few hours together on the road.

Polina is very touched by his story of how long his family was looking for that lost 5^th generation relative from Ukraine, though she doesn't understand why it was so important to him. Polina has very different views on blood relations and family ties.

She has very different view about almost any topic her "boss" is touching upon: role of women in the society, politics, nationalism, gun problems in the USA. Polina is open about her views and isn't shy to express them. Unlike in any other show or news program, there is no verbal fight between Polina and the ex-rabbi. Their conversation is full of mutual respect towards each other's views. They both are cautiously excited about being exposed to a worldview that is so different from theirs, as it rarely happens to people in general. Polina sees her conversation partner as a human being and not as a "dumb Trump supporter with 7 guns" (though he is a Trump supporter and has 7 guns). She loves the way he talks about his family and really wishes every man on this planet would be so devoted and so loving to his wife and kids.

The family reunion goes really well. The Ukrainian family is really cute and it's a pleasure and a privilege to help translating and witness such an intimate moment.

Though it was very unclear from the episode whether Polina was the only one who enjoyed the conversation, she received very generous tips on top of a very good pre-agreed fee. As a cherry on top, she is asked if she would be interested in meeting the ex-rabbi's brother who is a very nice man and in search of a wife. She finds it to be a great compliment given the fact she was so strongly disagreeing with "the boss" all the way through, but has to reject the offer.

She leaves the car right after he mentions Palestine, which is a good thing, as their fragile friendship might not survive that talk.

She is meeting her date and is happy to finally have money to buy him a dinner.
