What was Ori from Matchmaking looking for in a potential partner? He was looking for several qualities, such as:
- A family-oriented woman, preferably an Israeli
- Blonde hair
- Blue eyes
- One who can speak Hebrew
- One who can handle his intense relationship with his mother
- One who lives in the Los Angeles area
Ori’s first match
With these qualities in mind, Aleeza, the matchmaker, first paired Ori with Adi, an actress who had recently moved from Israel to Los Angeles. Even though she had a dark complexion, Ori revealed that he was sexually attracted to her.

Their brief courtship ended when Ori realized they weren't on the same page regarding having children. In addition, Ori made an awkward remark about the Los Angeles-based actress, referring to her as ‘simple’.
