Jewish and Israeli Film Festival: Matchmaking 2

In-Person at Kenwood Theatre
2024 ∙ Romantic Comedy ∙ 100 minutes ∙ Hebrew ∙ Erez Tadmor

In this charming sequel to _Matchmaking_ (our 2024 Opening Night Film), we
focus now on Baruch Auerbach, a mature Yeshiva student who missed every
opportunity to marry. He serves as the devoted assistant to Malki, the beloved
matchmaker, who continually tries to find Baruch his beshert. Only once Baruch
realizes how much he has misinterpreted the circumstances of his life will his
heart open to the love he deserves. Endlessly witty, visually rapturous, and
sweetly romantic. But it isn’t just about finding love, it’s a tender, side-
splitting celebration of clashing traditions and big-hearted characters,
starring some of Israel’s most dazzling young talents.
