The Matzah Ball Movie Updates

Chronically-ill Rachel Rubenstein-Goldblatt, a "nice Jewish girl" with a secret, loves Christmas. As the best-selling author of over twenty Christmas romance novels, and four made-for-TV movie spin-offs, she's kept her stellar career secret from her observant Jewish family for over a decade. But when Rachel's publishing house tells her they won't renew her contract unless she writes them a Hanukkah romance, she's desperate for inspiration. She finds it in the form of the Matzah Ball, a high-end Jewish music celebration scheduled for the last night of Hanukkah. There is only one problem: tickets are sold out and the only way to get one is direct from the ball's creator, who just happens to be Jacob Greenberg, her summer camp arch enemy.
