Young Israel of Ottawa presents...
OTTAWA PREMIERE: KOSHER LOVE
A thought-provoking video looking at love and relationships in the Orthodox Jewish World. Discover how ancient religious perspectives on love and marriage can be charmingly refreshing.

THIS VIDEO WILL FOLLOWED BY A SPECIAL Q&A WITH THE DIRECTOR AND FILMS SUBJECTS.

Beshert: a soul mate, the one person whom an individual is divinely destined to marry. Most of us grow up on fairy tales and movies in which mysterious and magical forces help people find their soul mates, to live happily ever after. But what about those people in arranged marriages, like certain Orthodox Jews, have they found their soul mates?
From Frederic Bohbot, the Canadian Executive Producer of the 2014 Academy Award-winning short documentary The Lady in Number 6, comes Kosher Love, an intensely intimate, quirky, and access-driven documentary packed with off-the-cuff moments, humorously revealing tensions between ancient traditions and modern times. Watch as a rabbinical matchmaker, a young Hassidic couple and a single, religious rapper explore the precise meaning of love, the need for marriage and the concept of soul mates.
Kosher Love looks at the search for true love and wholesome marriage in the orthodox, Hassidic world as it pushes back against an ever-encroaching, wired, secular world and its idea of momentary, selfish love. Using levity, animation and playfulness, Kosher Love aims to reveal that, regardless of how we approach it, dating and romance are universally crazy and unpredictable.
Above all, Kosher Love shows that we are all the same in our search for love and relationships, but there may be a few pearls of wisdom for the secular world to consider from this ancient Jewish tradition.
