Make me a match

Aleeza Ben Shalom doesn’t just enter the Zoom meeting – she bursts in – her broad smile and sunny spirit no different to her on-screen persona which beamed into my living room just a few days prior.
Aleeza is an author, podcaster, educator and founder of executive matchmaking service, Marriage Minded Singles – and with more than 200 marriages under her belt, her success speaks for itself.
But more than any other title, Aleeza is perhaps best known as the vivacious shadchan at the centre of the hit Netflix production, Jewish Matchmaking.
Over eight episodes, we follow her meetings with her clients; Jewish singles in Israel and the US who are ready to find their bashert (soul mate) – and need a helping hand.
