BAYONNE, N.J., May 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Love is calling—and Manischewitz® is answering with a bold, hilarious, and heartfelt new twist on modern dating. From May 20 through June 3, Jewish singles across the country are invited to apply now at the official website (https://manischewitz.com/manischewitz-matchmakers/) for a chance to be cast in Manischewitz Matchmakers, the brand's first-ever 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 is the chance to let love find you.

Timed for the start of summer, when romance, nostalgia, and a little bit summer magic collide, Manischewitz Matchmakers brings together 22 contestants for a one-of-a-kind 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 high-energy drama of reality TV.

"Jewish matchmaking is basically a competitive sport—and summer is where it all begins," said Eitan 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."
