It’s like the Bachelor, but louder, more heymishe and with hummus. While the TV series puts one man in a mansion with a bunch of women and conjures up lots of tears and arguments, Yaniv Cohen’s real-life series of massive Shabbat dinners fed tens of thousands of people over the years. This Moroccan-style salmon is one of his guests’ favorite dishes. The community Cohen built up around himself also won him a wife in the end. He originally started hosting because he loved Shabbat, but he was always looking for love, and he found it in Sapir Elady, 26. They will marry in March.
