Event Details
On Monday, December 15, 7:30 pm, step into the world of love, laughter, and a touch of mischief with Israel’s biggest box office hit of the year, Matchmaking 2, the long-awaited sequel to Erez Tadmor’s beloved 2022 romance that took the world by storm. Full of joy, warmth, and the ultimate romantic entanglements, this refreshing and feel-good romantic drama returns to the charming world of Orthodox Jewish dating, telling a heartfelt and humorous tale of tradition, family, and finding love in the most unexpected places.

The spotlight now shines on Baruch (Maor Schwitzer, from the internationally acclaimed show Shtisel and also at the Festival with Air War), an endearing bachelor who’s no longer the fresh-faced groom hopeful, but still holding out for his perfect match. In the pressure cooker of Haredi matchmaking, men and women alike are urged to settle down, and Baruch’s vibrant, tough-love matchmaker, Malki (Irit Kaplan from beloved Israeli show The Beauty Queen of Jerusalem and Academy Award entry Foxtrot), won’t let him off the hook just yet.

Endlessly witty, visually rapturous, and sweetly romantic, Matchmaking 2 is a Romeo and Juliet-like saga (sans the tragedy!) of two young, eligible ultra-Orthodox singles looking for a match. 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.

The Israeli Film Series is presented in partnership with The Miami Jewish Film Festival and generously sponsored by South Pointe Tavern.
