Ten years ago Maya left her secular kibbutz and became ultra-Orthodox. But her dream to find a partner and start a family seems continually to elude her.

Raised on a secular Israeli kibbutz, thirty-seven year old Maya is now an ultra-Orthodox Jew, and searches for love the ultra-Orthodox way. A birth coach who has assisted at over 100 births, she has also been set up on over 100 dates by her determined matchmaker. Time goes by, love does not blossom, and the effervescent and optimistic Maya digs deep to try find spiritual resources she didnt know she had.
