The adage says opposites attract...and in the case of Lifetime's all-new docu-sitcom KOSHER SOUL (#KosherSoul), which follows the lives of Los Angeles stylist Miriam Sternoff, who is Jewish, and her fiancé, southern and African-American comedian O'Neal McKnight, they do. Premiering tonight, February 25, at 10p ET/PT, divergent worlds will clash as Miriam and O'Neal's friends and family prepare for the couple's nuptials, including O'Neal's conversion to Judaism and their future as husband and wife.
Despite doubts and concerns from their loved ones, recently engaged Miriam and O'Neal are preparing to marry and begin their lives in a Jewish home. Madly in love, O'Neal is ready to prove his dedication to Miriam by converting to Judaism in order to be accepted by her mother, Nancy, who wants her future grandchildren to be raised Jewish. At the same time, Miriam is trying to blend O'Neal's southern upbringing and traditions into her life. What results is a hilarious and touching peek into the love and affection between two soul mates whose deep and emotional connection overcomes cultural barriers.
Kosher Soul is produced by Ish Entertainment and the executive producers are Michael Hirschorn (The Approval Matrix), Melissa Cooper (Styled By June), Wendy Roth (Wife Swap) and Rasheed J. Daniel (Blood, Sweat and Heels). Lifetime's Eli Lehrer, Mary Donahue and Mariana Flynn are also executive producers. Twelve half-hour episodes of
KOSHER SOUL have been ordered for this season.
