Special ticket price available for Closing Day Double-Feature of Matchmaking and Matchmaking 2!

Like a modern-day Romeo, Moti (Amit Rahav from Netflix’s Unorthodox) falls head over heels for his sister’s friend Nechama, but isn’t allowed to date the charming, beautiful young woman because she comes from a Mizrahi (Middle Eastern) family, not an Ashkenazi (European) family like his own. To the great despair of both his parents and an exasperated matchmaker, he 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.

Winner: Audience Award – 2023 Miami Jewish Film Festival

“The take-home in this polished box office hit is that the ultra-Orthodox may take their matchmaking seriously, but love is love, especially in a Haredi rom-com.” – Jessica Steinberg, The Times of Israel
