With more than four weddings a week and nearly 2,500 married couples to their credit, the most successful Jewish dating-for-marriage service continues to grow. Recently, there has been a very significant shidduch at JWed: Derek Saker, co-partner from the early years, is back on board with Ben Rabizadeh, CEO of JWed.com.
Ben Rabizadeh says, “JWed seeks to meet the diverse needs of our core observant membership, while helping thousands of less affiliated Jewish singles—who while not necessarily observant, can meet Jewish singles with an eye towards marriage. Derek is deeply entrenched and engaged in Jewish communities far and wide, and we are grateful to have him on board once again.”
While the name may have changed, the online service and experience is exactly the same—and getting better.
Saker says, “For our observant members the service has improved—with more controls and filters ensuring better dates and more marriages. In addition, with the new non-observant categories, the pool of observant members is now even more genuine and sincere.”
At the same time, the fresh new branding and positioning as a dating service, “Exclusively Jewish and Exclusively for Marriage,” is yielding a record number of new members daily from all observant outlooks from Modern Orthodox to Hasidic, as well as non-observant halachically Jewish singles looking for marriage.
When Frumster.com first launched, skeptics questioned its impact. Today, JWed. com is close to seeing 2,500 members matched and married. To mark this significant milestone, JWed will be hosting a celebration with singles, matched members— and the many young children resulting from so many shidduchim!
