Early life and background[]
Dorit and Saul grew up in Indiana, United States. Being one of the eight Jewish families in the entire town, their parents tried not to offend anyone with their Jewishness by asking them to exchange Christmas gifts with neighbors. After she met Moshe, she changed and feel proud as a Jew. They later move to West Bank. Moshe chose the place for their house, just beside the valley so that they can see the Arabs everyday.
Season 6[]
Though she and Saul are largely estranged, Dorit still cares deeply about her brother. Saul visits her after 12 years as cover to meet with the Iranians.
Season 8[]
Carrie later visits her, lying to her that Saul has died as a ruse to receive Saul's "legacy plan" to pass on the identity of his Russian asset to Carrie. Indeed, Dorit has a USB given to her by Saul, which contains a video message from him disclosing the asset's identity to Carrie. Dorit travels to the U.S. after giving Carrie the USB, believing her brother to have died. The two reconnect over the next two years, and she helps Saul move out of his residence in Washington D.C.

Quotes[]
Dorit: After I married Moshe, you practically disappeared from my life.
Saul: I visited when I could.
Dorit: Afternoon now and then.
Saul: Moshe and I saw things differently.
Dorit: He was my husband. You could’ve tried to understand his point of view.
Saul: Did he try to understand mine?
Dorit: You could’ve bent a little for my sake.
Saul: There’s no bending with a fanatic. After you met him… you changed.
Dorit: Moshe opened my eyes to the false life that mother and father had us living–exchanging Christmas presents with the neighbors, doing everything we could not to offend anyone with our Jewishness. Moshe made me proud to be a Jew.
Saul: He turned you against your family. He brought you to live in a place that’s not yours, where you don’t belong.
Dorit: Please, Saul, let’s not do this.
Saul: Haven’t you driven enough people from their homes already? Bulldoze their villages, seized their property under laws they had no part in makin’?
Dorit: This land was promised to Abraham.
Saul: Ah, yes. Promise. A covenant with God made thousands of years ago.
Doesn’t that strike you as a form of insanity?
Dorit: You don’t understand, Saul. You never have. I love the life that God has given me.
Saul: How can you love making enemies? How can you love knowing that your very presence here makes peace less possible?
Dorit: I have a family, a community, a life filled with faith and purpose. Saul… what do you have?
