A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
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.
