who someday hopes to find her “bashert” or soulmate, I lapped up Netflix’s latest reality showIndian Matchmaking,
which I have also watched in its entirety, the series follows matchmaker and dating coach Aleeza Ben Shalom as she works with a catchall of Jewish singles to help them find their life partners—or, at least, get them on the right path. Unlike some, this one is successful in capturing the fullness of the Jewish diaspora and its subsequent cultures: from those who lovingly describe themselves as Jew-ish and Ashkenazi Jews to observant Orthodox Jews and Sephardic Jews.
The show’s cast is most notably comprised of charming, quirky, and whip-smart Jewish women, who are quick to put fuckboys in their rightful place. Despite gentile women’s adoration of NJBs or Nice Jewish Boys, we also get to see the other side of the spectrum. EJBs are undeserving schlumps who demand blonde Israeli women with light eyes who can speak Hebrew . One EJB on the show remarks that he does not like Jewish women with curly hair—
though many Ashkenazi Jews have curly hair. Weird! It’s almost as if they hate Jewish women! EJBs aside, the show’s chronicling of the romantic process is addictive and heartwarming, featuring quippy pieces of advice from Aleeza like “date ’em till you hate ’em.” Team Dani forever.
