Inside the SECRETIVE World of Jewish Matchmaking
Ойын-сауық
Aleeza Ben Shalom is the star of Netflix show Jewish Matchmaking. I ask her about the ins and outs, and the moral dilemmas of her intriguing and surreal job. After interviewing Julia Haart from My Unorthodox Life, as well as Haredi and Hasidic defectors Chavie Weisberger and Frieda Vizel, I've become really interested in Jewish customs (especially as a Jew myself!).

If you grew up in a Jewish family, you cannot be non-Jewish. You may not be a religious Jew, but Judaism is both a religion and a nationality. You can stop being part of the religion, but you can't change your nationality.

I feel your heartbreak!
I think this is much better than having parents making decisions about who their kids marry. The people who use this service can always say "no, that's not the one for me."
Andrew, I pray that you read this message. I just reached the part where you say that you are envious of the lady because she's a believer. I was moved by that, and so I want to share with you what my mother did for me, which brought my faith back stronger than ever. I was an atheist for 5 years and I had reached a very dark time in my life. My mother challenged me to get down on my knees on New Year's Eve and to pray to God. It was a simple prayer, something along the lines of "God, if you are real and if you can hear me, please make yourself known to me." I didn't feel any immense immediate change, but I felt a subtle peace. I continued doing this every day for almost 10 years now, and gradually my experience of knowing God became undeniable to the point where I can truly rely on Him and His guidance. So perhaps try that. It will feel strange at first, you may feel as if you're speaking into a void... But perhaps a soft presence will begin to glow in your life until one day you too will become convinced that the living God is real. I pray that this happens for you so that you experience what so many of your people have been experiencing for millennia :)
I was raised Mormon. My husband was raised Muslim. My family took issue with it, but his didn't. We have 2 kids and have been married for 10 years. Our approach to both of our religious traditions (neither of us believe anymore) are very similar. Had someone tried to set me up with a Mormon man, I don't think I would have been nearly as happy.

First of all, this was amazing. I loved Aleeza's vibe instantly - so much so that I'm thinking of paying for Netflix just to see her show. What an intriguing and interesting interview! I wouldn't mind going through a matchmaker. I'm nearly 49, never had a spouse, and my last partner (we were engaged long distance, then he called to tell me he cheated & he was going to marry her instead. And he did.) broke up with me in 2002. As a confirmed introvert and someone who currently is dealing with some physical disability issues, a matchmaker would be a great tool to have available for someone like me. Also, your partner's from Argentina?? That's where I did my first exchange student experience! Loved it and I've been homesick for it ever since. If there's any chance she's from Resistencia, in Chaco province, that's my adopted hometown. :) ANYWAY - great interview. I don't know how you come up with your topics and find your people, but this is another slam dunk, Andrew. ❤👏👏👏💯

So I do not agree with the comment that arranged marriages are fair, look @ the stats now and historically to see how many women can’t divorce or they lose their children, are shunned from their communities, are beaten into submission, who weep on their wedding day, who as teens are married to a man 40+ years older. 👵🏽X👵🏻🇬🇧

If you ' love her ' why didn't you listen to what she had to say instead of blowing smoke up her?. It has nothing to do with religion. It's overtly racist, that's all that matters - race. But only for her group. Listen to her own words from 10:56 on that piece of land she lives on that magically grows year on year is an ethno state - enshrined in law. Meanwhile she rubs her hands telling you for every other group go ahead and mix ' Christian + Christian, Hindu + Hindu, Muslim + Muslim They can and are made up of people of various ethnicities and races. Pure racism!. Meanwhile in old YT land Anne Boleyn must be black!, we must overflow with every other colour. Our people on the streets but an army of men living in plush hotels.

Aleeza is so lovely, she is the best thing about the Jewish Match Maker Netflix series - I'm sure the production team chose quite fussy participants for 'entertainment value' - Aleeza is so patient and cheerful with them I don't know how she does it! Looking forward to the next series for the outcomes of her matchmaking.
I'm a fan of the show😊and i'm Roman Catholic. We believe that faith is a gift and research
This was a great show. Very interesting. Aleeza has a great way about her. I agree with her about love and the spiritual connection. However, I do think intermarriage can work. I grew up as a Presbyterian, my brother married a Jewish woman with an Israeli dad, and they're still married after 25 years with 2 kids and happy. I set up a Jewish ex-boyfriend of mine with a Catholic girlfriend of mine, and they're still married 15 years later. I married another Gentile and got divorced after 9 years, with no kids, even though I wanted them but knew it would have been a bad idea. In one way what Aleeza says is depressing in my situation, LOL but I fundamentally agree with her about the importance of family. Thanks for having her on.

Your home is the world. Whatever happens in yr home affects the world.

True , marriage is difficult So having the same religion is a huge huge huge plus in a marriage
Amazing interview so interesting and she makes a lot of sense . People wait to get married until after 30 they are running out of time for children,after age 35 babies can be born with more birth defects & pregnancy is often harder on the mother the longer past age 35. Also once you have done everything for yourself for 35 years now you have to split your time with a partner & children.

Young People, listen to her. Don’t miss your chance to find the true meaning in life of living and loving in a family community. I’m 70 yrs old and have been blessed with this - 8 grandchildren. But I could have easily missed it. It’s worth any sacrifice you may have to make. But marry what i call a “good-willed” person and someone like-minded in your belief system. You can get thru anything if you do. And you will be so glad when you are old that you have this equity.
A while ago i spoke with a matchmaking agency in London who wanted £15k to find me someone. Absolutely crazy money. If it was more affordable id go for it. Unfortunately the Shul i go to does not have a Sidduch.

I really enjoyed this series as well.
A "yente" (יענטע) translates from Yiddish to mean, "gossiper." Hence the negativity around the term - the woman who used to try to set people up was the woman who knew what was what with everyone in the community because she was a big gossiper.
Very interesting! She was an amazing guest.
she is so lovely
I spent over two years @ start of the 80’s in Israel working on two Kibbutzim and when I had to leave suffered severe depression as I wanted to stay forever, unfortunately I was not Jewish and had no chance @ being accepted. Kibbutz + Moshav are just 3% of Israel’s population but their communities as a youngster made me feel the inclusivity + working together the nearest to equality + seemed to work. I am against communism, Marxism, Fascism and what we are experiencing today (equal to the fall of the Roman Empire?) Jews rarely marry non-Jews which I feel is sad. The Hasidic etc are a different group, religious ideological radicals are certainly not my cup of tea! 👵🏽X👵🏻🇬🇧

WOW!! Aleeza is spot on!!
Gossip in a Jewish context is actually forbidden. There are a set of rules that guide people to guard their speech.
The demonization of gossip actually comes from sexism. In ancient times, people were intimidated by women who knew a lot about the people in their community. Thus, I’m with the host on the idea that “gossiping” is natural, human, and NEEDED. Women often abstain from exposing a creep in the workplace, for example, because they fear being called a gossip or a troublemaker. I hope Aleeza develops more of an open mind regarding the way people communicate, and how ancient sexism can influence how we see certain behaviors. That being said, seems cheerful, fun, and smart!

It's not about how it can work, but about what to do when it doesn't work. I married Peter because I wanted to build a life with him and giving the children a stable background. On top of that, my parents had a good marriage and I saw how they took over when one of them was sick - that's how it has to be, but nothing in my marriage worked as it should and when I decided that things would only change if I worked on them, the environment started to stop me from doing that. Indeed, things work for thousands of years but not because they are good, but because women can solve problems without making them worse. It's important that people understand the basics of my ground plan and part of that is changing the must into can and the can't into don't have to. We all want a FUNCTIONAL life, being able to cope with our problems and being loved and respected for who we are. This is where the idea of having a 'nobody' beside our body comes in - what kind of person are you when there is no pressure from outside? My basic program is simple, but effective when the tooth looks allright but is rotten inside, and, if we change therapy (connected to the ba or the master) into supporting without bells and pomegranates, we would be much more honest about the situations we create when we don't feel free to do it our own way. Knowing that we don't believe in facts, but in testimonies, I offer the world my life as an example of the things I learned after the 'perfect storm'. Even talking about my intentions has changed the media - yeasterday, I saw a French documentary about an incest case in the north of France and I was oleasantly surprised. The Jewish lifestyle is 100% based on the ba, although they still use the idea of the female line. That can work, when everybody is respecting the rules and get a lecture when they don't, but the human being is an opportunistic creature and even that aspect became clear when I tried to clean up the mess 'in the house'. The 'tripod' skeleton is stable and mobile - nothing is good or bad without a common context and, using my own experiences, it's better to do the job yourself than letting a stranger decide what to change (outside control). 1. ka-ba-la as it should be used (and be careful not to take the ka for the ba and vice versa) ka = female & spiritual, the Teacher, Source ba = male & material, the Master, God la = body & nobody, the Pupil, Ego (as in I and nobody else) 2. TypeSCaPe represents the 5 levels of the process that has an inwards part and and outwards TPS (inwards) = Trends, Patterns, Strategies (Structures) -> more than 90 % of everything that happens is taking place on this level SCP (outwards) = System, Cycle, Processing the 'food' -> it's time to do the bigger job and getting out of the oppressed patterns that silence us when thing go wrong 3. The Humane Codex: one possesses for 100% one's own life, but ONLY one's own life. Since the actual juridical system is ba-based, we need a court system that is ka-besed to keep a healthy balance. The *Sanhedrin* is meant to fill that in, but (of course) this word is used for ba-related promises and we forgot the ka when we started to lie, cheat, and fight for things that made our life more comfortable. We still talk like the ka, but walk like the ba and that will never change, unless it hurts us badly on the collective level. Kies Boom En Ark - is an anagram of Karen Kiebooms, my 'house' is the Ark (Karen Anker) and the tree (boom) is a kaki-boom (the kaki of Nagasaki) ... Everything I do is on the SCP level and to be sure that I wasn't favoring my own 'club', everything I advice can be used by everybody, who needs it to understand his/her personal situation. I am MORE than the daughter of my father, the wife of my spouse, or the mother of my son(s) and my 'nobody' livs longer than my body because my children will remember me for my good lessons and not for my bad behaviour. That isn't too hard to understand, is it, I am just ONE person, living a complex life between my birth and death. Everything in my life prepared me for the JOB and when I'm ready, I have to make place for my next me that has a new mission. I built up a good reputation in my earlier lives and that should be the green card for trusting me on my word of honor, but it's still just one life that can make the difference and my hourglass has to be turned asap.

There is very good point in a matchmaking.Or in having someone who is mediator between two people.If you don't like something or you just can't go further you will not tell in a face to a person what you don't like and explain to him or her what is wrong and offend him.You will tell it in a nice way to a matchmaker and she will explain it in a nice way to other side- person. And by the way matchmaker can be also some of your friends.Or someone who had a good idea.
Interesting how being a Jew is still not clear. It s a soul identity, so can’t see it phisically. And the soul comes from the mother being Jewish, hence maternal lineage matters. Or conversion. The way I learnt it is that marriage is a reunion of what was one soul before being born. And the reason intermarriage can’t work is because Jewish souls are uniquely Jewish and won’t be able to actually plug in not Jewish souls. G-d loves both Jewish and not Jewish souls, so no need to be jealous or excluded .

Mind you in traditional arranged marriages the match maker needs to be people focused and really passionate about it. If they're not switched on about people and relationships then it could also be a disaster. Just because someone is a leader doesn't mean they have the natural skills or interest in doing it. For some people its near enough is good enough, now lets do something more interesting and important. the matchmaker must consider that relationships and marriage is the most important thing and therefore arranging what will be successful marriages is vital.
The thing is not everyone can have a family or want one. Also not everyone can find life partner.
Very wise woman
Oops! I accidentally deleted my story of how I met my husband! Thanks to those who said they enjoyed it! This was a very interesting and informative video!
She councils too, which would be a great idea before marriage! Oh, and you can retain the Jewish part of you, and believe in Jesus Both the same and true God! ❤ Also, I met my husband "cruising" down a street in a car and pulled into an A&W restaurant for a root beer. I knew him for 3 years and married him at 19 and didn't really know him. BIG MISTAKE! Everything he promised me, such as fidelity, and honesty is a lie.But amazingly, I am still married to him 41 years later. Long story!
Andeew, did you use a matchmaker? 🙃
Islam doesn’t do arranged marriages, fact check please before you say that. We have the same as Jewish matchmaking that’s the “arranged” aspect but nothing is forced even if there is a minority of forced marriages unfortunately. The term has negative connotations but it’s not used in the right way. Hope this helps.
Great video, your guest was fantastic and very wise. I’ve been married nearly 53 years to a lapsed Catholic. All the subjects your guest covered about relationships and finding a partner are important things to sort out before a couple make a commitment. I’m 25% Ashkenazi Jew, for a joke I used to threaten my two daughters with a marriage maker. In the end they found the ‘right one’ on their own and are very happy. Thank you.
She is wonderful and I do agree.
