With introduction and facilitated Q&A by Rabbi Raysh Weiss, Co-Senior Rabbi Temple Israel of Natick.
The characters from Matchmaking return in this endearing romantic comedy set against the cultural tensions between Ashkenazi and Sephardic communities. Baruch Auerbach is a graduate student who still lives in a small room at the yeshiva where he once studied and now works as the devoted assistant to the matchmaker Malchi. When Malchi asks him to pick up her younger daughter Shira from the airport, Baruch decides it’s finally time for him to get married—but he soon discovers that being taken seriously as an eligible suitor is easier said than done. Featuring a stellar supporting cast that includes Reymonde Amsallem, this charming sequel stands on its own and offers a delightful romantic journey even for those unfamiliar with the original film.
