Casamento à moda judaica

The participants couldn't be better; so genuine, nice, funny, charming, caring, and quirky. I really wanted each person to find their "perfect" person. Especially the older ones, as I can only imaging how much smaller the dating pool is for people who are over 40. I was extremely excited for the few people who made great connections and could see them working out in terms of forming romantic relationships. There were no updates, which was a little disappointing, however it did not take away from the show because I think ultimately they would have gained friendship. The matches or potential matches were incredibly respectful and kind to one another, which is really refreshing for reality love t.v.

I have watched four episodes and one thing I've noticed is that almost all of the matchmaker's clients seem extremely self centered and convinced that they deserve the most physically attractive person out there. They all seem to want to marry themselves and a few have even said so. All, despite the fact that they may not be a universal 10 themselves.

One guy in particular, Ori, is extremely self centered and believes that a woman's physical appearance is the most important quality in a woman. He's fairly obnoxious and he needs to learn to ratchet it down and try being more humble. His attractability wanes in that he still lives with his parents and works with his mother. Loving your mother is fine but a little bit is enough. This is a man in his late 20's, it's time to grow up. The host and matchmaker and her husband are the best advertisement for a good marriage, her clients are not.

Interesting show. Vapid but I appreciated the diversity displayed within the Jewish communities. I have always been aware of the degrees of diversity within the Jewish culture but didn't realize the degree of difference in all parts of their lives.

My biggest issue is that we got to superficially meet each person and saw a date or two with them and their matches then, poof they were gone.. it looks like the matchmaker was a flop.

I'd like to see a success or two. I'm sad Fay and Shaya didn't click.

My favorite part was the older couples and their stories. Their advise and encouragement for the younger ones!

This is an entertaining series and hope we can a get a second one.

Certainly, the star of the show is the matchmaker.

More or less all the participants appear to have been raised to adhere to a strict religious code in varying degrees of dogma.

It is quite an eye opener to learn how dependent and subservient they all are to their belief system engineered by parents and others who must be obeyed.

A lot of those taking part are self-centered and spoilt and in reality ought to have a high level of intelligence yet seem to have been completely brain washed into following a strict regime of very strange and some would say ludicrous customs that make no sense and are joyless.

But of course, it's said to be a religion, but some might say more a 'cult'.

However: still an interesting show and we need another part to reveal what happened to all those taking part!

7/10.

Aleeza is more than caring and compassionate and insightful; she rightly understands that a lot of ppl who remain single need to adjust their approach to dating or their worldview in some way...IF they want to not only get married, but as she says, make a marriage work. The segment with her and her family is the most authentic bit of the entire series, and gives away her qualifications as a shadchanit. That said the producers do not let us see that, as there is no follow through months later on any of the couples. I was shocked that the repugnantly arrogant dude in LA living with his parents whose only demand was that she be a blonde blue-eyed 10 (while being a Moroccan, Hebrew-speaking Israeli - even his friends pointed out his lack of logic), the never-Kansas-girl and the 51 yo eccentric Chicagoan seemed most likely to have really matched. If these 3 worked out, then Aleeza can find a match for ANYONE. Get her better production for S2 - and we'll be watching.
