JDate has renewed the possibilities in my life that I had almost given up on.

Lindsey and Ben: “Score one for JDate!”

Though I was quite apprehensive initially of finding my match online, JDate seemed like a far more appealing option than being forced into yet another synagogue fix-up courtesy of my mother and her gaggle of friends.

How can I open up to others through online dating?

Editor — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 18:44:31 +0000

Dear Rabbi,
I have to say, I'm really out of touch when it comes to this whole "online dating scene". You see, being 39 and single (and struggling just to make new friends in this town I've lived in for almost 15 yrs) has been downright exhausting! I've turned to temples, synagogues, JCCAs and the Jewish Federation for help, and now I feel like the only direction to go is online. Even though I've tried this online scene before and failed, I keep coming back to it because everyone says this is where you'll meet people, this is where you'll meet your beshuva, to which I reply, "bah humbug" (for a lack of better words!!!).

Is It Beshert…Or Just Shtick?

Meet JDate’s newest Success Story, Elisa Jordana and Benjy Bronk. While Bronk is well-known for his work on The Howard Stern Show as a writer and comedian, Jordana is easily recognized by Cobra Starship fans who will remember her as the band’s former keytarist. Now, Jordana is making a new name for herself after writing the song, “Online Sweetheart,” an ode to the love she and Bronk found on JDate.

"Online Sweetheart" is garnering national attention thanks to Bronk’s connection to The Howard Stern Show. Often discussed by Stern, the video for the song has more than 60,000 hits on YouTube and was recently featured on Good Day LA. While some detractors say Jordana and Bronk are using their connection to The Howard Stern Show to further their careers and find greater fame, the two say they simply want to share a positive message about finding love.

Rabbi Eliezer Silver

Historians have noted the seemingly underwhelming response of the American Jewish community to the Holocaust as it unfolded in Europe. Among the few who were prominent activists was Rabbi Eliezer Silver (1882-1968).
