“There’s 15 million Jews in the world, and there’s about 15 million ways to be Jewish,” Aleeza Ben Shalom says at the start of Jewish Matchmaking. The expert matchmaker and dating coach will meet all sort of singles across the United States and Israel seeking their bashert,or soulmate, over Season 1 of the new series. The one thing they have in common? They’re all relying on shidduch — a centuries-old system of matchmaking for the purpose of marriage — to find lasting love in today’s swipe-happy world.
And there’s no one better to guide them from first date all the way to the chuppah than Aleeza, who’s helped over 200 couples with her no-nonsense, modern approach to the traditional practice.
“I knew that matchmaking existed, but I thought it was an old thing that bubbies would do in Yentl or Fiddler on the Roof,” Aleeza tells Tudum. “But the...

There’s a saying in the Jewish community that certain things are bad for the Jews. The list largely includes people with a great deal of power and money who use it for nefarious ends: Bernie Madoff, Jeffrey Epstein, Woody Allen. (Other things that are arguably not-so-great for the Jews: Einstein’s Bagels; virtually any male character from a Noah Baumbach film; and the fact that the only Jewish character in The Babysitters’ Club series is a whiny curly-haired girl with allergies.)

Netflix's Jewish Matchmaking makes for an interesting paradox. Produced by the team behind Indian Matchmaking, the eight-episode series fails spectacularly as a dating show. Matchmaker Aleeza Ben Shalom spends hardly any time with this group of love-seeking singles, and the series readily introduces and then abandons its subjects, leaving viewers without updates, let alone closure, on the couples that do emerge. At the same time, however, Jewish Matchmaking is one of the first shows on television to embrace the diversity of the Jewish community by featuring Jews of different races and ethnicities and with varying degrees of observance.
