Tu B'Av Special: The star of Netflix's 'Jewish Matchmaking' discusses traditional methods vs. modern AI apps, and how Jews are looking for love post-October 7.

Welcome back to The Spiro Circle, where today I want to dive deep into identity, culture, and the people shaping Jewish life today.

With Tu B’Av right around the corner (for those who don’t know, think ‘Israel’s Valentine’s Day’), I was excited to speak with Aleeza Ben Shalom: Matchmaker, dating coach, author, and star of Netflix’s Jewish Matchmaking.

She has helped thousands of Jews navigate the complex, emotional, and challenging world of modern Jewish dating. Aleeza is also a Voice of the People Council Member and is working with them on a new series exploring the emotional, cultural, and generational challenges that define Jewish relationships in 2025.

We discuss everything from traditional matchmaking techniques vs. modern-day AI dating apps, spiritual connections and family pressures, and what the global Jewry is facing post-October 7.

This episode also included this podcast’s first ‘lightning round’ - hang around until the end to hear some surprising insights.
