Match Made in Heaven is not your average reality show. It's the first
ever series in that takes a revealing look into the very closed
and hidden world of matchmaking among the ultra-religious Jews in Israel who
still use the traditional way of getting to know their future mate.
The project was filmed over a two year period and has
gotten a lot of international buzz. Several television networks around
the globe are now looking into making a localized version about their
Jewish communities.
In this video, Jewish News One reporter Ron Jacobsohn interviews the director, producer, and the matchmaker who appears in the show.
Enjoy!

Jewish matchmaking has evolved a lot over the years. Today, in most cases, the bride and groom are making the decisions, hopefully with parental backing. I went out with my wife just a few times before we decided to get married, and we didn't touch one another until our wedding night. Seventeen years later I can say I made a fabulous decision, without feeling the next to spend long months getting to know a person inside and out. Because most of what you need to know you can see from the outset, and the more you hesitate, the more you lose clarity.
