With the recent announcement of the upcoming Netflix series Jewish Matchmaking, fans of dating shows are eager to see how this new series will compare to the popular Indian Matchmaking.

One of the most significant differences is the method used by the matchmaker. While Indian Matchmaking focuses on the practice of arranged marriage, Jewish Matchmaking uses a system known as “shidduchim,” which involves introducing members of the Orthodox Jewish community to one another with the ultimate goal of getting married.
Another difference is the cultural and religious backgrounds of the participants. Indian Matchmaking features singles from India and the Indian diaspora, while Jewish Matchmaking will follow Jewish singles in the US and Israel. This means that the dating customs, traditions, and values portrayed on the show will be different, offering viewers a unique perspective on each culture.
Looks like the stars have aligned once again! 💫

The matchmakers themselves also have different approaches. Aleeza Ben Shalom, the matchmaker featured in Jewish Matchmaking, is known for applying ancient wisdom to modern love, while Sima Taparia, the matchmaker in Indian Matchmaking, uses a combination of traditional and modern methods to help her clients find love.
Despite these differences, both shows share a common theme: the search for love and companionship. Viewers can expect to see the ups and downs of dating, as well as the cultural and societal pressures that come with the search for a partner.
