The popular matchmaking reality show "Wart" has returned for its third season on Reshet 13, following the success of its second season which concluded with three weddings. The new season introduces fresh faces and familiar dynamics.
Among the new contestants is Chaya Zinzuri, a 22-year-old redhead described as instantly lovable. Matchmaker Miri Wexler expressed admiration for Chaya, stating she would be an ideal match if she had a son. Chaya is seeking a partner who is both God-fearing and easygoing.
Her potential groom, Eliezer, is the eldest of six siblings and works in the schnitzel business while also developing a fashion brand. He enjoys playing music in the street with his father. Chaya has indicated she is comfortable being the primary breadwinner.
The show also features Aliza Ben Shalom, a new matchmaker who claims to have successfully paired over 200 couples. She introduces Yona Kraus, a 30-year-old who describes himself as working in the "Sayeret Matkal" of the State Attorney's Office and Ministry of Justice, having also served in the IDF. Yona, from a family with 11 siblings, left a religious seminary to pursue secular studies and military service before returning to his religious roots by choice.
Matchmakers initially proposed Lopez, a religiously observant law student interested in criminal prosecution, to Yona. However, a television production trick revealed that Sarah, 26, would be Yona's actual match. Sarah, who loves numbers, met Yona for a date in Jerusalem. Despite Yona's traditionally religious appearance, he was open to a date with Sarah, who described him as "scary Ashkenazi, but looks okay." Their date included a walk through the Old City.
Chaya and Eliezer's first date also took place in Jerusalem. Eliezer, celebrating his birthday, hoped Chaya would be his best birthday gift. They met during the "golden hour" by the sea, where they received a call warning them their date might end like Cinderella's. Chaya humorously noted her shoe was stuck, and matchmaker Yiki concluded the meeting was positive.
