Jewish Dating in New York

The “City That Never Sleeps” is the preferred residence of most American Jews. Currently, a little less than 2 million Jews live in the area, accounting for a third of the whole American Jewish population. This is not surprising as Jews are known to be high achievers and go getters. The energy of the place with its hustle and bustle makes them feel right at home. But even the busiest of bees need to take time out and socialize in the beehive.

In Time Square, one can find a huge billboard of online dating site JDate.com. JDate is the leader in this niche market, boasting of the largest community of Jewish singles with over half a million members. For those with a hectic schedule, online dating is a godsend. Here you can search for your ideal mate and narrow it down to age, height, weight, income, and even their specific religious affiliation (Orthodox, Reformist, and the like). Chat and post on online message boards to mingle, then flirt and send them private messages. That’s dating in 21st century convenience.

Of course, the dating game doesn’t stop there. People who meet online frequently meet to further test if there’s a spark. Some go out to chic Jewish restaurants while others prefer the more informal park scenery, with a picnic among the grass. The most important thing to consider is what suits the couple’s personalities best.
