An optometrist named Sarah (Inbar Lavi) receives an anonymous gift on each of the eight nights of Hanukkah and sets out to find her secret admirer, only to suspect her real match may be someone she never considered.

Rated 6.8 with over 1,200 votes, and a heartfelt dedicated Hanukkah story.

Sincere and charming, and one of the genuine ones on this list.

There are latke tosses and a game called Menorah Matchmaking. A warm, festival-forward career-reinvention romance. Charmingly specific, and one of the real ones.
