When one matchmaker declined Netflix’s offer to host the eight-part series “Jewish Matchmaking,” she recommended a friend, Aleeza Ben Shalom. It was a different kind of bashert in action, and it proved a good match.
Ben Shalom, who lives in Israel, filmed the show in 2022, from February to August, in Chicago; Denver; Kansas City; Los Angeles; Miami and Brooklyn, N.Y. She credits both her success and the show’s ratings to having run online matchmaker live sessions during the years of COVID-19.
