Jewish Dating Services: An Overview

In the beginning there were no dating services. The very first thing that even resembled a dating service was started by a Jewish woman.

Way back when, the Jewish people wandered through the desert with herds of sheep. There was always an older woman called a matchmaker who paired up young, single people who, for some reason, couldn’t pair up on their own. Stories were written about matchmakers, songs, and entire books. “Matchmaker, matchmaker, make me a match, find me a find, catch me a catch.”

These lyrics didn’t come out of thin air. They came out of the existence of the little old Jewish ladies who performed that particular service since the days of the Old Testament.

Today there are thousands of dating services around the country, many of which have dedicated their services to matching up Jewish singles. Each and every one of them tries to be different in a business that is essentially the same everywhere. They do background checks, profiles of interests, habits, likes and dislikes and then try to match people up based on similarities in their answers. Some Jewish dating services simply offer people a presentation, some on video, some in printed folders, where a prospective single can, for a fee, sit down and browse through the prospective date files, write down phone numbers and then later make contact. One Jewish dating service even went so far as to arrange single prayer services at local temples during the High Holidays, matching up singles, who would have been attending the services anyway by putting them together in a special seating area.

Interestingly, the bulk of Jewish dating clients are not deeply religious people. They’re Jewish but some haven’t been to a temple in years. For some reason, they just feel more attracted to Jewish members of the opposite sex than to people outside their religion. It’s not the Jewish religion that brings them together, it’s being Jewish.

HurryDate parties let you meet people face-to-face to see if there is chemistry!

Each party is held at fun, cool bars and is organized so you'll meet oodles of people on a string of real live mini-dates. When you check-in, your HurryDate hosts will give you a SCOREcard and ID number that HurryDaters will use to identify you, and you'll take a seat at one of many tables-for-two.


When it's time to begin, you'll talk to the person across from you until your host blows the whistle to indicate your date is over (no matter how cute they are!) That's your signal that it's time to move on to the next HurryDater for another whirlwind conversation. And on it goes! Get the picture?


After each date, you'll ever-so-discreetly circle a "yes" or "no" next to each person's ID number on your SCOREcard to indicate if you want to be in touch. At the end of the night, you'll take your SCOREcard home to enter who you liked into the handy-dandy, super-secret online system. HurryDate will then match you up with who is interested in you too! From there, it's up to you to get in touch through the secure email system to set up a real date!


Think you won't remember who was who after meeting all those people in one night? You thought right! Don't worry...everyone fills out a profile with a photo to help refresh your memory on those you matched with.


Sound crazy? It is! But that's why it's so much fun! RSVP for the next party in your city now and see what this HurryDate madness is all about. Click here to find a party in your city today!
