[4] Kosher Love was commissioned by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation,[5] and notedly focuses on the advice and guidance offered by Rabbi Yisroel Bernath of the Chabad Hasidic community.
Bernath serves as the spiritual director of a Chabad House in Notre-Dame-de-Grâce and as the chaplain at Concordia University (Loyola Campus).
[7][8][9] While Bernath is portrayed in the film as a friendly and affable, he is viewed somewhat critically in the Jewish community press for a perceived dismissiveness of all non-Orthodox religious denominations.
Both Beloff and Bohbot are secular Jewish filmmakers from Montreal but have turned to the Hasidic Bernath for guidance.
[11] The film was noted for offering an engaging and friendly introduction to religious Jewish perspectives on the subjects of love and marriage.
