The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
In European Jewish communities, matchmakers used to have an important role. In modern Israel, religious Jews have preserved the tradition of matchmaking.
Efrat is a religious Jew and a mother of six children. Her mother’s friend Rochi arranged Efrat’s marriage. We asked Efrat as to how the process toward marriage progressed with the help of a matchmaker. After getting married, Efrat herself has got into matchmaking. We also meet Aharon, a professional matchmaker, who runs matchmaking business in Israel and Paris.
