Mr. Perfect on Paper
מאת Jean Meltzer

The perfect Jewish husband should be:A doctor or lawyer (preferably a doctor) Baggage-free (no previous marriages, no children) And of course—he must be Jewish
As the creator and CEO of the popular Jewish dating app J-Mate, matchmaker Dara Rabinowitz knows the formula for lasting love—at least, for everyone else. When it comes to her own love life, she's been idling indefinitely. Until her beloved bubbe shares Dara's checklist for "The Perfect Jewish Husband" on national television and charming news anchor Chris Steadfast proposes they turn Dara's search into must-see TV.
As a non-Jewish single dad, Chris doesn't check any of Dara's boxes. But her hunt for Mr. Perfect is the ratings boost his show desperately needs.

Narrator Dara Rosenberg gives a magnificent performance of this hilarious and heartwarming rom-com. Dara Rabinowitz, a 30-something developer of a Jewish matchmaking app, appears on a television show hosted by anchor Chris Steadfast. Dara's matchmaker grandmother, Bubbe Miriam, accompanies Dara and shares with the audience the list of qualities Dara is seeking in her perfect Jewish husband-to-be. Dara reluctantly agrees to be filmed on a series of dates, and after a disastrous one, she meets an emergency room physician named Daniel, who checks all her boxes. Yet Dara finds herself drawn to the gentle widower Chris and his delightful 11-year-old-daughter, Lacey. Rosenberg expresses the wit, charm, and sensibility of every character, including Miriam's friends and Chris's kindhearted neighbors, firefighter Jenkins and his wife, Katie. M.J.
