The Scoop: Aleeza Ben Shalom has a new book. In it, Aleeza describes how to find and keep love, break negative relationship cycles, and overcome dating anxiety. The billion dollar matchmaking industry continues to grow in popularity, and Aleeza is currently one of the industry’s most prominent voices.
Matchmakers, dating coaches, and love enthusiasts of the world, listen up: Aleeza Ben Shalom is back on bookstore shelves with her new relationship guide, “Matchmaker, Matchmaker: Find Me a Love That Lasts.”
Matchmaker Aleeza Ben Shalom has reached celebrity status thanks to her hit Netflix series, “Jewish Matchmaking”. With more than a decade in the industry, she has built an extensive database of elite, high-quality Jewish singles who are looking to settle down with someone who shares their values.
Aleeza’s warm yet wry style has made her approachable as a matchmaker and as an authority in her community. Now, the “Jewish Dating Guru” with over 200 successful matches to back up her nickname is sharing her secrets with the world.

In “Matchmaker, Matchmaker,” Shalom shares what she calls her “proprietary dating system” and gives readers a rare peek behind the curtain at the dating methodologies that have made her a success. She demystifies romance for singles and reassures readers that it’s never too late to find lasting love.
Even seasoned dating professionals could benefit from the experienced matchmaker’s words of wisdom. After all, Shalom’s website claims that she “isn’t just any ol’ matchmaker,” and “This isn’t just another dating book.”
Instead, she describes it as “Your roadmap to a relationship that actually works — one that’s built to last — to sizzle, not fizzle!”
Aleeza told us: “Finding a love that lasts not only stabilizes your life but also contributes to a more grounded world. My hope is that this book empowers people to become their own matchmakers while inspiring them to help match their friends, family, and coworkers—because introducing others to lasting love is one of the greatest acts of kindness we can offer.”
According to Shalom, our dating habits can determine our romantic fulfillment. In “Matchmaker, Matchmaker,” Shalom teaches singles how to leave the most common — and negative — dating habits in the past. “Stop the endless cycle of first dates” and “start dating with purpose” are only the first steps, according to her website. It’s also important for daters to learn how to find “the gems amidst the frogs” by having a clear and realistic type of person in mind.
“If you’re ready to make a real change … this is the book that’ll get you there.”
Just as important: overcoming dating anxiety, being authentic, and developing a thick skin. “If you’re ready to make a real change … this is the book that’ll get you there,” her website promises.
Jewish matchmaking may have deeply rooted traditions, but Shalom blends tradition with a modern outlook in “Matchmaker, Matchmaker.” Singles of all backgrounds can benefit from her expertise, whether they’re newly divorced, chronically single, or matchmaking masters themselves. Her book’s debut, as well as the success of Netflix’s “Jewish Matchmaker,” proves that there’s not only a community of singles looking for the help of a seasoned matchmaker or coach — there’s also a market.

In 2025, online matchmaking will most likely continue to grow as a billion-dollar industry worldwide and in the United States. The reason for this is clear: Matchmakers, especially those with years of experience and exposure to back them up, often charge a pretty penny to rework your love life.
Despite the popularity of dating apps, many singles are more interested in establishing a bond with a flesh-and-blood matchmaker like Aleeza. Or, at least, they’re more interested in making genuine offline connections. A 2024 Forbes Health/OnePoll survey found that 80% of Millennials and 79% of Gen-Zers have experienced dating app burnout. Matchmakers like Aleeza may not be able to guarantee a happier ever after, but they can use their abilities to pair clients up with someone they have the best chances of connecting with IRL.
In a post-pandemic world, real-life connections are more important than ever, and enlisting the help of a qualified matchmaker can take the pressure off the consumer.
Aleeza’s experience and star-status makes her one of the more prominent figures in the matchmaking industry. Her well-earned authority makes “Matchmaker, Matchmaker” the “ultimate companion for anyone serious about finding and nurturing lasting love,” according to her website.
“Matchmaker, Matchmaker” isn’t only a self-help book — it’s a guide to finding and keeping the love of your life. It’s Aleeza’s most recent publication to date, following “Get Real, Get Married” and “Virtual Dating.”
