You may have finished watching Jewish Matchmaking (mazel, by the way), but for Aleeza Ben Shalom, a matchmaker’s work is never done.
Sure, she’d love nothing more than to see her single clients breaking glass under the chuppah one day. But, in her eyes, success isn’t just about making a match — it’s making sure that match will last a lifetime. “If you don’t know how to walk a couple through [the dating process], then you could make a match and it falls apart after one date,” Aleeza tells Tudum. “What good was it to set them up?”
While not everybody may have found their bashert this season, the singles who opened up their lives and hearts to the matchmaking process agree that they were forever changed by the experience. Some still regularly seek out Aleeza for advice and credit her for revolutionizing their dating habits, and others now even consider her now to be more like family.
So, it’s time to check back in with all your favorite catches as they describe what their lives look like now, and how Aleeza’s guidance has changed their approach to love and dating going forward.

Harmonie says her vision for her soulmate is now “crystal clear,” as she describes her time on the show as a “powerful growth experience.” While none of her dates led to lasting relationships, she credits the process for “shifting [her] mindset” when looking for a compatible partner.
“I’m as SINGLE as they come and ready to MINGLE to meet the one,” she tells Tudum. Working with Aleeza has helped Harmonie let go of control and step outside of her comfort zone romantically. When the right guy does come along, she’s now ready to give him the “opportunity to get to know the real [her]” and do the same in return. But, ultimately, Harmonie is investing in the relationship she’s building with her self, which she calls the “most important one you will ever have.”

Despite enjoying dates with Alyssa, Gabriela and Tav, Noah is currently single and still searching for his forever partner. “I learned a lot about how to approach dating in a very different way from what I have been doing,” he tells Tudum of his experience. Perhaps, the deepest connection Noah made is with Aleeza herself, whom he now considers to be like family. As for life in Tel Aviv, it’s never been better, and is “enjoying Israel more than ever.”

While she didn’t ride off into the sunset with her dream guy, Nakysha’s in a “great place” since we last saw her. “I’m currently single and looking for a handsome bashert,” she tells Tudum, noting that she’s accepting all applications. Regardless, Nakysha says she’s changed the way she thinks about dating after her matchmaking experience. Now, she’s learned the power of “being stingy (in a good way)” and not compromising on her criteria, particularly when it comes to finding a guy who is “just as cultured” as she is and shares a similar background.

What’s Dani been up to? Her explanation is simple. “Miami is still a dream, my life is a movie and I’m having the time of my life,” she tells Tudum. Since her matchmaking journey came to an end, Dani is currently single, dating around and on the hunt for her “boo thang.” But with hot girl summer on the horizon, she says she’s done wasting her time on anyone who isn’t “the real deal.” Thanks to Aleeza’s expert guidance, Dani has learned how to notice those flags early, take action on them and not get caught up or distracted by guys who don’t share her values. “My life, friends and family make me happy as is, so if you’re not adding to my life. I don’t want it,” she says.

Noah has left the Wyoming wilderness behind and has moved to Denver, Colorado, where presumably the chances of finding his perfect match (and a kosher-friendly restaurant) are significantly higher. The investment advisor is currently single, as none of his potential partners were the right fit for a long-distance relationship. But he’s grateful for the experience because of how it made him more “open to different ideas about dating.” Now, Noah is focused on continuing to build his business in this next chapter of his life.

Since we last saw him, Stuart’s life has been something of a roller coaster. The good? He has a new album coming out that he can’t wait to share with the world. The not so good? He’s still recovering from spinal surgery, but hopes to be back on his feet (literally and figuratively) by the summer. With so much on his plate, Stuart hasn’t locked down a relationship just yet, confirming he’s very much still single. “I didn’t find love on the show and haven’t met anyone I wanted to pursue since it ended,” he tells Tudum. He is, however, optimistic that someone might reach out after seeing his journey… or that Aleeza will give him another shot. “I still have her number,” he says. “Hopefully, Aleeza may still have someone for me.”

The “Year of the Cindy” never stops, so why should she? Since dating Aleeza’s match Daniel, Cindy hasn’t slowed down professionally or personally. When she’s not growing her social media following, she’s been focused on publishing her first book, a collection of poems. As for her love life, working with Aleeza taught her how not to lead with her “emotions in full force” and date more logically. Ultimately, Cindy wants a partner she could be happy spending most of her time with whose core values align with hers. And — fingers crossed — she just might have found the one. Cindy is now in a relationship, but is playing coy about exactly which guy has won her over. You’ll just have to keep tabs on her Instagram for the reveal. “Did you think I would tell you this easily?” she says.

Since calling it off with Shaya, Fay has been focusing on growing her mental health and wellness company OKclarity, which now connects over 30,000 Jewish people with professionals globally. She says it’s been “incredibly fulfilling to act as a liaison, helping Jews all over the world access top-tier professionals that can help them enhance their well-being.” As for her relationship status, Fay prefers to keep things private “in accordance with [her] community’s traditions.” Should any inquiring minds want to know, they can direct any and all inquiries to her matchmaker. “Aleeza is a beacon of light for the Jewish community,” Fay says. “Her wisdom, passion for life, Yiddishkeit and grounded approach to the modern world are truly remarkable.”
