Love is calling-and Manischewitz is answering with a new twist on modern dating. From May 20 through June 3, Jewish singles across the country are invited to apply now at the official casting website (Manischewitz Matchmakers - Manischewitz) for a chance to be cast in Manischewitz Matchmakers, the brand’s first reality dating show inspired by the time-honored (and sometimes relentless) tradition of Jewish matchmaking.
Jewish singles ready for love, laughter and a little matchmaking magic can apply until June 3 at the official casting website. Whether you’re tired of being set up or ready to take matters into your own hands, Manischewitz Matchmakers offers an opportunity to make a connection.
Timed for the start of summer, when romance, nostalgia and a little bit of summer magic collide, Manischewitz Matchmakers brings together 22 contestants for a dating experience set in New York City.
“From family dinners to holiday tables, bringing people together has always been at the heart of Manischewitz,” said Talia Sabag, marketing manager for Manischewitz. “With Manischewitz Matchmakers, we’re celebrating connection in a fresh, fun and culturally authentic way, helping spark relationships while embracing the humor and warmth of Jewish tradition.”
Created by comedian and writer Eitan Levine, the show blends old-school matchmaking with the drama of reality TV.
“Jewish matchmaking is basically a competitive sport-and summer is where it all begins,” said Levine. “This show taps into that shared experience with a mix of nostalgia, chaos and genuine connection. It’s funny because it’s true-and hopefully it’s where a few people actually find something real.”
