The Jewish Matchmaker Podcast – The Date That Ended in a Bomb Shelter

They both said no at first… and now they’re married. In this episode, Aleeza Ben Shalom sits down with Yaakov and Tehila Zimmerman to share the unlikely path that led from reluctant introductions to marriage just 20 weeks later. Along the way: reserve duty after October 7, a first date that ended in a bomb shelter, and a three-day Rosh Hashanah that made them realize something real was unfolding. A story that proves sometimes the opportunities you almost pass on are the ones that change your life.
