What happens

Soon By You is an American comedy webseries created by Leah Gottfried. The series follows six young Modern Orthodox Jewish singles living in New York City as they navigate the shidduch system and complicated feelings for each other. The title is a common phrase used in the Orthodox world to wish luck to singles who have not yet found a match. Conceived as a cross between American sitcom Friends and the Israeli drama series Srugim, the show was created by Gottfried, who also plays Sarah Jacobs, with the help of co-producers Danny Hoffman and Jessica Shechter (who star as David and Noa respectively). The pilot was screened as a short film at the Washington Jewish Film Festival, where it won Best Short, and the first season received over a million views on YouTube. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
