We'd rather you have every answer upfront. If something's not here, email us at hello@alephdate.com Ñ a real person responds.
JDate and Hinge are platforms Ñ you browse, you swipe, you hope. Aleph Date is a service. We do the searching for you, by hand, every month. There's no app, no algorithm, and no profile for anyone to scroll past. You receive a curated list of real people who were specifically chosen for you based on who you are and what you're looking for.
The result: less time wasted, more meaningful introductions, and a process that actually respects your intelligence.
We accept Jewish professionals who are genuinely serious about finding a partner Ñ not testing the waters, not casually seeing what's out there. That typically means doctors, lawyers, founders, executives, and people in creative or intellectual fields who have a clear sense of who they are and what they want.
We don't filter by age, city, or level of observance. We do look for clarity of intention. If your application sounds like someone who's ready, we'll reach out.
Once a month, you receive a message on WhatsApp with your curated introductions. Each profile includes a photo, a short written description, and a direct contact Ñ phone or Instagram. There's no platform to log into, no inbox to manage. You simply reach out to whoever interests you, directly and privately.
Essential plan: 7 profiles/month. Premium plan: 15 profiles/month.
Completely. You have no public profile Ñ nothing is visible to anyone outside our team. Your information is shared only with people we personally introduce you to, and only when we make that introduction. We never sell, share, or publish member data. This is a closed, private service by design.
Yes. We work with Jewish professionals across the full spectrum Ñ secular, traditional, Conservative, Modern Orthodox, Chabad-affiliated. What matters is Jewish identity, not a specific level of practice. We match within what actually aligns: how you live, not what box you check on a form.
If you light candles sometimes, celebrate the holidays, and want your children to identify as Jewish Ñ you belong here.
Because the quality of a matchmaking service depends entirely on the quality and seriousness of the women in it. We want to remove every barrier to entry for women who are genuinely looking for a partner Ñ not chase them with subscription fees.
Men pay because they're receiving a curated service delivered monthly. Women participate because they want to. That dynamic creates the right energy on both sides.
We're active across the United States, with the strongest member concentrations in New York, Miami, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Chicago, and Boston. We also work with members in smaller Jewish communities Ñ distance is rarely a dealbreaker when two people are serious.
If you're in a city not listed, apply anyway. We'll let you know honestly whether we can serve you well.
Yes, at any time. No contracts, no cancellation fees. If you find your person Ñ which is the goal Ñ you simply stop. We'd love to hear about it.
We partner with Chabad shluchim and rabbis in several cities who refer members, help us understand community context, and occasionally vouch for people in the network. This relationship isn't about being Chabad-only Ñ it's about being trusted by the people the Jewish community trusts.
Our Premium members gain access to this referral network, which can meaningfully expand the quality of introductions we can make.
Email us at apply@alephdate.com with a short note about who you are and what you're looking for. There's no long form Ñ just write to us the way you'd write to a person. We respond within 48 hours. If it seems like a fit, we'll set up a brief call and take it from there.
We only accept members we believe we can match. Choose your plan after approval.
Stop swiping. Stop waiting. Apply to Aleph Date and let real people find your bashert.
