| Endlessly witty, visually rapturous, and sweetly romantic, MJFF 2023 Audience Award-winner Matchmaking is a Romeo and Juliet-like saga (sans the tragedy!) of two young, eligible ultra-Orthodox singles looking for a match. Featuring an all-star cast including Amit Raham (Unorthodox), Irit Kaplan (Beauty Queen of Jerusalem), and Maor Schwitzer (Shtisel), Israel’s biggest box office hit of the year returns to Miami for one-night-only on Saturday, April 29 at 8pm at Temple Beth Am’s The Hub.
In this joyous tale about tolerance and love, a yeshiva student goes to extraordinary lengths to pursue his true love despite the exasperated efforts of his disapproving matchmaker and parents. Full of hijinks, jokes, and slapstick humor, Matchmaking is one of the best Israeli romantic comedies of its time and will be a delight for any generation.
The “Best of the Fest” Israeli program is hosted exclusively at The Hub at Temple Beth Am. MJFF Members are provided free entry to all screening in the program, so if you haven’t become a Member yet now is the best time to do so! |
