MATCHMAKING
An entertaining and good-hearted romantic comedy that gives a light Orthodox twist to “Romeo and Juliet”
Directed by Erez Tadmor
Israel, 2022 / Comedy / Hebrew and Yiddish, with English subtitles/ Running Time: 98 min
Description: Moti Bernstein (Amit Rahav from Netflix’s Unorthodox) is the son every mother wants, a student every Rabbi loves to teach, the ideal Yeshiva Bucher, the perfect match for every bride. He has it all: a good Ashkenazi family, a brilliant mind, and a nice face! In search of a wife, Moti has the choice of the best girls in the Jewish Orthodox world, but he only has eyes for his sister’s friend Nechama, a charming, beautiful young woman who hails from a Moroccan Mizrahi family. To the great despair of both his parents and an exasperated matchmaker, Moti throws caution—and taboo—to the wind, and often goes to comical lengths to pursue his one true love. Featuring an award-winning cast, this Israeli box office sensation delivers a healthy dose of laughter in a lighthearted tale of love and tolerance. From the director of Magic Men and A Matter of Size.
