Matchmaking

Israel 2022, 98 mins, Hebrew (with English subtitles); Director Erez Tadmor, featuring Amit Rahav, Liana Ayun

On the face of it, young yeshiva butcher Moti and his little sister’s best friend Nehami are the perfect match – they share the same values, have known each other for years, and most importantly, they are in love. There is just one small problem: Moti is Ashkenazi and Nehami is Sephardi, and in the ultra-Orthodox city in which they live, such a match is strictly prohibited. Going against the wishes of his meddling parents and nosy matchmaker, Moti comes up with a genius if risky plan to marry Nehami. Inspired by classic Bourekas comedies, Matchmaking is a sharp, hilarious critique of the business of love and marriage in the Haredi community.
