New Ways of Dating Jewish

Jewish people who are trying to find a partner in the singles dating world sometimes have difficulty meeting those they can date and marry, while still guaranteeing that they are dating Jewish people with similar lifestyle and world views. One method of meeting people, known as speed dating, was invented by Rabbi Yaacov Deyo in California to help these young people find each other. Now such events are available to supplement other methods, like online dating services.

When you remember that the original purpose of speed dating was so that Orthodox Jewish singles could meet, it's surprising to realize that this method was considered so modern and even revolutionary. With personal ads being thought of as questionable not too long ago, even for people with a more open lifestyle, speed dating might seem to go several steps farther and be too unusual a method for very conservative young people who are interested in dating Jewish partners. Yet in modern society, people's cultural values aren't automatically indicated by the circles they travel in, and time is often a constraint, so perhaps new methods of meeting possible mates are required.

Speed dating has been adopted by the world in general, but it's one of the methods Jewish young people still use. Other Jewish dating services have developed with the growth of the internet, so Jewish singles can enter their personal data and view the data of others, initiating some sort of contact if they find someone who seems interesting. Or some sites suggest potential matches for them, and they can decide if they want to pursue contact with any of those people. While the online method is now a large component in most partner searches, there are still non-internet-based Jewish singles events, and a speed dating event is just one of the possibilities available.

You might actually think of online dating sites and speed dating as modern versions of using a yenta to initiate a Jewish match. Recall that the way a matchmaker often worked was by matching particular characteristics between the potential spouses. While it's true that those criteria were perhaps based more on economics and utility at the time, the current methods of dating Jewish people may simply be adapting the older way to a more modern setting, adding elements such as culture, values and personality traits to the original equation.
