Our Story

Date My Jewish Friend harnesses the power of the original social network – real friends – to bring together young Jewish professionals ages 21 to 40. We think that no matter how fly you are, you could always use a wingman to give you that extra lift. Now in its second year, the organization strives to create comfortable and enriching environments for singles to meet, alleviating the pressures and pitfalls of the bar scene, while nurturing interest in and support for the arts and local businesses.

The Impact

In a culture where a new dating website is created every week, we are moving further and further away from interacting in the real world and developing deep interpersonal relationships. We have no problem with online relationship sites, but there is simply no substitute for getting out there and making new friends, making real connections … making eye contact. And we admit it: We’ve got an ulterior motive. In today’s dismal economic climate,the arts are greatly struggling to stay afloat. There is so much culture to explore and discover every day in New York City, and what better way to take it all in than with a new special-someone on your arm? You might call it killing two birds with one stone. We call it kismet.
