With everyone following stay-at-home orders, in-person dating is almost out the question. So, how are you supposed to find your beshert? 

Enter Jewish dating site JWed, which has made it possible to date virtually. This week JWed launched a video date scheduler on its mobile app to enhance its video chat capabilities. The video chat and date scheduler are integrated into the existing chat functionalities so users can meet virtually and safely go on a date. It also enables members to arrange dates in advance without having to exchange any personal contact information.

JWed CEO Ben Rabizadeh said video dating will remain a necessary alternative to in-person dating as the pandemic landscape continues to fluctuate.

“By providing users the ability to date from home, JWed will continue to help facilitate authentically Jewish relationships across the world,” Rabizadeh said. “This new feature protects our users’ privacy while simultaneously allowing users to prepare for a date, providing the typical excitement and anticipation that comes with in-person dating.” 

JWed connects Jewish singles from a wide range of cultural and religious backgrounds including Reform, Unaffiliated, Conservative, Orthodox and Chasidic communities.
