JDate is a globally renowned Jewish dating website open to singles of all ages, nationalities and degrees of religious observance. As well as filming the team at work in their office the show follow members Dan and Bianca as they attempt to find a compatible partner.
A Match Made in Heaven looks at the idea that Jewishness isn’t just a religious but also a cultural identity and the significance of this for singles looking for love. Have Jewish communities traditionally been inward-looking and non-inclusive? Do websites like JDate only propagate this prejudice?
Plus the show investigates the stereotype of the Jewish mother eager to marry off her children to suitable partners and how this fits in with the modern day reality of internet dating. It also looks at why traditional methods such as Jewish social events such as bar-mitzvahs and synagogue services in introducing potential partners to each other are failing in the present day.
