The matchmaking program “Vort” captured viewers’ hearts already in its first season, aired in 2024. Despite only producing one wedding in that season, most of the singles who participated found their soulmates within the next year.
In the season ending on Tuesday night, four engagements (vorts) were finalized and three weddings took place (one engagement was broken off), an achievement unmatched by any other matchmaking program.
The show offers a rare glimpse into the matchmaking world of the charedi community on the road to the long-awaited wedding.

As part of the program, a Council of Matchmakers headed by Yaki Reisner and Sara Pachter, both prominent figures in the charedi sector, works to guide the singles featured in the series toward a vort (engagement) and marriage. The series follows on camera the initial meetings of the couples, the decision-making process in matchmaking, the principles that guide the charedi singles in choosing a partner, and shows how after only a handful of dates, the process often leads to a wedding, which is also silhouetted in detail on the show.
