No commitment. Takes 30 seconds. Your mother would be thrilled.

Private
Your profile is never
public. Not even a little.

שאלה · She'elah

The Question

On every other app, your congregants
can find you. Oy.

A board member swipes right. A bat mitzvah family recognizes your photo. A congregant screenshots your profile and farshpreyt it everywhere. Every Talmudic kashe begins with the thing that doesn't fit — and the general apps, nebakh, were never built for clergy.

פ

The Bushah Problem

Your profile is visible to anyone on the app — your congregants, your board, the family whose child you just b'nei mitzvahed. A failed match becomes a devar Torah about you at someone's Shabbos table. You can't date in public the way everyone else can. This is the bushah.

מ

The Eternal Explanation

Half of every first date is explaining what a rabbi actually does, why you can't just "skip" Rosh Hashanah, what "I have Shabbat" means for your Friday nights, and why no, a synagogue is not the same as a church. Genug shoyn. Here, your match already knows.

ה

Hashkafa

Political identity. Sexual identity. Denominational worldview. How you observe. What you believe about continuity. These aren't filter options on other apps. Here, they're the foundation — your hashkafa.

"If the tools available expose rather than protect — if every swipe is a potential shande — have we not an obligation to build something safer?"

— This is the teshuvah. A closed, vetted pool. A shadchan who actually reads your profile. No algorithms with chutzpah enough to think they know your soul.

The Path

The shadchan. Start to finish.

The Jewish people invented the shadchan for a reason. Every introduction here is made by a human who actually knows this world — not a recommendation engine with no sekhel.

א

Submit Your Profile

Edut — Your Testimony

Your denomination, your hashkafa, your politics, your practice. No dropdowns that don't fit — you write your own answers. Your shadchan reads every word. Every word.

ב

Share a Dvar Torah

Kavvanah — Intention

2–3 minutes: a teaching you keep returning to, a question a text won't let go of, a parsha that keeps finding you. Your voice is your real introduction. Not a rabbi? Share what Jewish learning means to you.

We match on kavvanah, not keywords.

ג

The Shadchan Decides

Shidduch — The Match

A human reads your profile, listens to your dvar Torah, and makes an introduction they'd stake their reputation on. No swiping. No shpilkes. A real person said: these two should meet — and meant it.

הזמנה · Hazmanah

The Invitation

Finally, a private space
to find your bashert.

Your match may be a rabbi or a deeply Jewish, values-aligned partner from the broader community. Every introduction is made by a human shadchan. No mishegoss. No algorithms. Just good judgment.

You can hold more than one — just pick where you want to start.

Mevakesh — Find Your Bashert

מְבַקֵּשׁ · The Seeker

You're a rabbi or rabbinical student looking for a partner. Your match may be a fellow rabbi or a deeply Jewish, values-aligned partner from the wider community.

Yente — Community Curator

יֶנְטֶה · The Connector

You know this community and have a gift for seeing who belongs together. Help us make the shidduchim.

Shadchan — Join the Team

שַׁדְכָן · The Matchmaker

You want to work inside the operation — screening, introducing, and building this kehillah from within.

אֵלּוּ וָאֵלּוּ · Eilu va'Eilu

All of who you are

Your shadchan reads every word. "Eilu va'eilu divrei Elohim chayyim" — both these and these are words of the living God. All of your complexity belongs here.

דְּבַר תּוֹרָה · Dvar Torah

The dvar Torah that stayed with you

This is how we match on kavvanah, not keywords. Your shadchan listens before making any introduction — your voice tells them more than a questionnaire ever could. So nu, start talking.

🎙️

The Prompt

Share a dvar Torah that moved you recently — or one you keep coming back to no matter how many years pass. The one that made you call a friend at 11pm to talk it through. The one that makes you laugh a little, cry a little, or argue with the text out loud on a Tuesday.

2–3 minutes. No notes, no polish. Your shadchan isn't grading you — they're listening for you. Imperfect is not just fine — it's the whole point.

Tap to begin. Nobody is judging. Your shadchan just wants to hear you think.

"Kol hatchalot kashot — all beginnings are hard." This one wasn't.

We'll review your profile and reach out when your cohort opens. In the meantime — tell one person about this. The community only works if the right people are in it.
