Dating and matchmaking in the "Haredi" (ultra-orthodox Jewish) world has always been mysterious and intriguingly different from the secular world. At a time when the institution of marriage in the modern secular world is about to go bankrupt – increasing divorce rates, infidelity, the trend of extended bachelorhood, single parenting, etc. – the question arises: where are we going wrong? And what is it about Haredi relationships that keeps them strong and stable? How does it work?
In the documentary "A Match Made in Heaven" we explore the world of matchmaking in the different sectors of the Haredi world and observe couples in different stages of relationships, and through them we learn about their behavior, philosophy, and the key to a happy relationship and marriage.
Through the participants' stories we learn the values of relationships and marriage according to Judaism and how they actually apply them – so different from secular attitudes (falling in love as opposed to love which comes with time; the women's role in relationships; the man's role; sexuality).
