The Best Jewish Dating Sites

Finding a love match isn’t easy, and many people (over 300 million individuals across the globe) rely on dating sites and apps to help the process.1 Meeting a love match can be even more complicated when looking for someone with the same religious beliefs and values.

If you’re Jewish and looking for a partner who is also Jewish, you may feel like you need to find someone through mutual friends or at a synagogue. But there are now several dating sites and apps dedicated to helping Jewish daters find love.

Find out our top five picks for the best Jewish dating sites (and apps) in our guide. We compare price, match compatibility, site features, and other qualities to help you choose the best platform for you. Can one of these sites help you find “the one”?

If you’re in a hurry, here’s a summary of our top picks.

Our 2025 recommendations for Jewish dating sites

• Best for most people: Jdate
• Easiest for finding compatible matches: eHarmony
• Best for casual dating: JSwipe
• Best for those who distrust algorithms: SawYouAtSinai
• Best for Orthodox Jews seeking marriage: Ringle

In establishing our top five picks, we used several criteria to judge these sites, including cost, privacy, match compatibility, site features, and ease of use. Keep reading to find out how these sites compare.

Cost

Winners: JSwipe and Ringle

Most Jewish dating sites allow you to browse the site or app for free before committing to a membership. Free accounts have limited access, sometimes blurring out user profile pictures or not allowing you to message other members. As such, it’s best to think of these as free trials. Paying for an account is necessary to utilize the site’s full capabilities — and many people do, with internet dating bringing in over 2.9 billion dollars in 2023 alone.2 The sites and apps in this guide have a wide range of membership costs, but we also considered if the price was worth it.

Our overall winner in this category is JSwipe for a combination of two reasons. First, its free version actually provides enough functionality to facilitate your dating life. Most other dating platforms require you to purchase a subscription before you can send or receive messages, but JSwipe folds that basic feature into all user tiers. Second, even the paid version is modestly priced. The lowest-cost subscription tier (one month) costs just $24.99 and the highest (six months) is $59.94.

Ringle is our co-winner because its subscription prices are pretty much on par with JSwipe’s, except the three-month tier is actually a couple of dollars less and the six-month plan is a few cents more.

Privacy

Winner: Jdate

Privacy is an important consideration when online dating. Not only are you providing a lot of personal information on Jewish dating sites and apps, but you’re also interacting virtually with matches. These qualities could lead to fraud, scams, and other malicious activities. A dating site must prioritize your safety and privacy both on the site and in their policies.

Jdate is our winner for privacy because of the steps the site takes to protect you and because it encourages you to protect yourself. Jdate reviews all profiles and pictures uploaded to the site to ensure they meet the terms and conditions. Customer support is available seven days a week to assist you in case of member disputes. Jlife, the Jdate blog, also offers many articles with tips about protecting yourself online.

Match compatibility

Winners: eHarmony and SawYouAtSinai

A site can boast thousands or millions of members, but that doesn’t mean that you’ll be compatible with all of them. A quality Jewish dating site will ensure that you find matches that align with your religious beliefs, values, and morals. The site should also make sure you have other commonalities like interests, preferences, and attitudes.

eHarmony and SawYouatSinai have an edge in match compatibility because they both take many steps to ensure that you’ve found quality matches. When you join eHarmony, you complete an extensive Compatibility Quiz, and each member profile shows a compatibility score. The higher the number, the more likely the two of you are compatible. SawYouAtSinai uses professional matchmakers and an extensive list of questions to help you find love. Based on your compatibility, the matchmakers provide you with about ten potential matches each week.

In the case of eHarmony, the compatibility matching comes at a higher price, but for those who are very serious about finding their soulmate, it’s likely well worth the cost.

Site features

Winner: JSwipe

Many dating sites are similar in the way they present your profile and establish matches. A high-quality Jewish dating site will stand out by providing you with a diverse set of features that help you find and organize matches, interact with other users, and optimize your profile.

JSwipe includes the most distinctive features of all the Jewish dating sites in this guide. It’s a Tinder-style app that allows you to swipe right or left on potential matches, helping you make quick decisions and go with your gut. The app also allows you to search for matches in other cities, boost your profile, view a collage of potential matches, and use Super Swipe, which notifies a user that you’re interested.

Ease of use

Winners: Jdate

It’s all too common to feel a fair bit of pressure when trying to find a match. That’s why you want a Jewish dating site to be user-friendly and fun. You don’t want it to add to the stress of finding a partner. Some sites require complicated setup requirements, while others have you logging in and browsing profiles within minutes. Also, some sites make it easy to find and connect with matches because they offer user-friendly features.

Jdate is the easiest site to use in this guide. From account creation to browsing matches, it’s simple, clear, and intuitive. If you’ve used any social media site, you’ll be able to navigate Jdate.

In terms of functionality, there aren’t many differences between a Jewish dating site and a mainstream dating site. You still create a profile and search for matches, but your matches on a Jewish dating site are faith-focused: a higher concentration of Jewish members in the dating pool, making it more likely to find a match that aligns with your beliefs and values.

Some mainstream dating sites provide filters that allow you to search only for people who share your religion, while others don’t offer such filters. On those sites, just be up-front about your Jewish faith, and you may find some like-minded matches.

To use a Jewish dating site, you generally follow these steps:

• Create a profile
• Include information about your interests and values
• Upload a profile picture
• Search for potential matches
• Message other users (email, IM, video chat)

If you’ve used mainstream dating sites and don’t feel like your religion has been represented, a Jewish dating site might be a good option for you. Many mainstream sites offer a larger dating pool overall, but Jewish dating sites provide a much higher number of Jewish daters, making your likelihood of finding a match much higher.

Those who follow traditional Jewish customs may only be able to date or marry another Jew. If you follow this custom, using a Jewish dating site could yield better results than face-to-face dating or a mainstream dating site like Tinder. You may find non-Jewish members on a Jewish dating site, but you can use filters to find the match you desire.

It’s important to ask yourself what kind of dating you’re interested in before choosing a site. All Jewish dating sites cater to Jewish dating, but they offer different features and ways to connect. Some are more suited to marriage or long-term relationships, while others are for casual dating or friendships. It’s best to determine what you’re hoping to find at the outset.

It helps to know that your data is protected on a dating site so that you feel comfortable sharing your personal information. Many Jewish dating sites prioritize your safety to ensure comfortable and confident browsing. They use protection measures like profile verification and data encryption to keep you safe.

No matter how protected you are on a dating site, you should still try to be aware of scammers. People use fake profiles to try to get information, specifically financial info. No matter how hard dating sites try to limit this type of profile, they’re still out there. Many Jewish dating sites provide information about browsing safely and protecting yourself. Do your best to remember these tips – they can help even the savviest dater.

Tips for online dating

Here are some general tips about protecting yourself while dating online. Remember that online dating is supposed to be a fun experience, but it’s still essential to stay vigilant.

1. Report fake profiles. Many Jewish dating sites provide information about how to report any suspicious profiles. If it seems odd or malicious, let the company know.
2. Don’t share your info. Keep information like your address and phone number private until you’re sure the potential match is trustworthy.
3. Watch out for catfish. Some users pretend to be other people on dating sites. Ask to video chat before meeting to ensure your match isn’t deceiving you. Especially with advancements in AI, pictures can be easily faked. Video chat may be necessary.
4. Listen to your gut. If your intuition is telling you that a profile is fake or malicious, block that user to end all contact. This is important whether you’re using a Jewish dating site or a mainstream one.
5. Meet in public. When the time comes to meet your match in person, consider a public space where there will likely be other people.
6. Loop in someone you trust. Before a first date, it’s also a good idea to share some information with a trusted friend or family member in case of an emergency. We suggest you share your date’s name and photo along with the place you’ll be meeting.

Best for most people

We chose Jdate as the best Jewish dating site for most people because of its reputation, match quality, and customer support. Launched in 1997, it’s the most well-known and well-established Jewish dating site, with members from all over the globe and testimonials from thousands of members who have found love and marriage through it. Jdate offers many ways to connect, including giving each potential partner a match percentage that lets you know the likelihood of compatibility. If you want to try a Tinder-style swipe feature, check out your LookBook.

Jdate has an accompanying mobile app for Android and iOS that includes the same features as the site. As a member, you can also read Jlife – Jdate’s blog – which includes articles focusing on Jewish dating life. There, you’ll find tips for staying safe online, success stories from past members, and advice on maintaining love and relationships.

Getting started with Jdate

To set up a Jdate account, you begin by providing personal details like your email address, password, first and last name, gender, birth date, and zip code. Then simply follow these steps to create your profile:

5. Select your interests from a long list that includes sports, activities, entertainment, arts, travel, music, and food.
6. Identify your match preferences based on gender, age, distance, religion, and relationship type. The religion field allows you to choose as many options as you like.

• Conservative
• Culturally Jewish

When it comes to your match preferences, you can select as many of the above as you want.

Also, apart from those we mentioned earlier, the advanced match preferences include Jewish-specific fields like:

• Kosher status: “Kosher at home only,” “Kosher to some degree,” “Kosher at home and outside,” or “Not Kosher”
• Synagogue attendance: “Attend synagogue every Shabbat,” “Attend synagogue some Shabbats,” “Attend synagogue on High Holidays,” “Attend synagogue occasionally,” “I’ll tell you later about synagogue attendance,” or “Attend synagogue rarely or never”
• Ethnicity: “Ashkenazi,” “Mixed ethnic,” “Other ethnicity,” “Sephardic,” or “I'll tell you later”

Once you finish setting up your profile, you can either browse Jdate for free or upgrade to one of three membership packages.

Cost

Jdate offers three membership plans that vary in price and length. You’ll need a paid membership if you want to:

• View all user photos
• Send and receive messages
• View message-read receipts
• See profile likes and visitors
• Hide your online status and profile
• Browse anonymously

All plans auto-renew without cancellation and charge the total amount upon purchase. The prices for the desktop version are:

• 1-month Premium Plan: $59.99/month
• 3-month Premium Plan: $44.99/month ($134.97 total)
• 6-month Premium Plan: $29.99/month ($179.94 total)

The mobile app prices are about the same, except the Android version rounds up the monthly cost of the three- and six-month tiers to the nearest dollar ($45 and $30 per month, respectively – or $134.99 and $179.99 in total).

Site features

The paid version of Jdate offers a diverse array of features to help you find matches, connect with other members, and manage your profile.

Privacy

Jdate takes steps to protect your privacy and encourages members to stay safe online. The site reviews every member's profile and images to flag fraudulent profiles. It also has a customer support team available seven days per week to assist with any concerns.

Additionally, Jdate provides online dating tips to help you stay vigilant and protected, plus even more information about privacy and confidentiality while dating online.

Jdate may use and share your personal details for site improvements and marketing. That includes sharing your info on third-party social media sites. Aggregated data (that is anonymized) may also be shared with third parties for research purposes.

Easiest for finding compatible matches

Although eHarmony is a mainstream dating site and app, it’s a popular choice for Jewish daters because of its reputation and match features. The site launched in 2000 and has become a well-known and well-respected platform for finding long-term relationships. Its 80-question Compatibility Quiz asks unique questions about your lifestyle, interests, and personality to ensure you and your matches are aligned on a foundational level. The site also allows you to filter matches based on religion, so you can choose to look only for matches that identify as Jewish.

Getting started with eHarmony

To register with eHarmony, you’ll first provide some basic info like your email address, sex, and age (or, alternatively, sign up with your Google account). Then you complete the 80-question Compatibility Quiz, which takes about 20 minutes and covers topics such as:

• Relationships
• Lifestyle
• Interests
• Habits
• Partner preferences

The Compatability Quiz looks deeper into your romantic preferences than most dating platforms. Besides questions about your sex and sexual orientation, you’ll be asked whether you like sleeping with the window open and what you would do in various hypothetical situations.

After taking the quiz, you complete your profile by uploading a profile picture and providing details about your education level, occupation, income, height, ethnicity, child status, and religion. Since eHarmony is a mainstream site, it includes a long list of religious options:

Cost

A Basic membership is free, but it offers very limited functionality: browsing your match pool, exploring member profiles, and sending Likes. You’ll need a Premium subscription to:

• View unblurred member photos
• Unlock messaging
• Filter for religion, ethnicity, income, and education
• See who's viewed your profile
• Search by distance
• See your detailed personality profile

To use eHarmony specifically for Jewish dating, you’ll need that extra filtering feature.

eHarmony has three Premium (paid) subscription options: Light, Plus, and Unlimited. They all provide the same features but differ in the number of matches you can limitlessly message every month. The Light tier lets you message 15 matches without limit, Plus gives you 30, and Unlimited has no such restrictions.

Each subscription option is also available in six-, 12-, or 24-month terms. In 2025, without any special offers or discounts, the pricing breaks down like this:

You can pay for the whole term up front or split it up over two, three, or four payments. When you sign up, you may get an offer for 50% off your first month, which can reduce the total cost by around $20. Please keep in mind that subscriptions renew automatically for 12-month terms. On the payment screen, carefully read the fine print under “Choose a payment option” so you aren’t caught off guard.

The eHarmony app is free to download on both Android and iOS. It offers the same features as the desktop version, at the same price points.

Site features

Your paid eHarmony account includes many features that help you organize your matches and maintain your profile. Read about each of these features below.

• Homepage: View a list of new matches, your recent visitors, the Likes you’ve received, whether you’ve received messages, and the steps you need to take to complete your profile.
• Matches: Check out a listing of potential matches, match preferences, and filter options. Edit your preferences or perform a new search using the filters.
• Compatibility score: All of your possible matches include a rating in the corner of their profile picture. Based on the Compatibility Quiz, this score shows how likely you are to be a match.
• Messages: Send and receive messages and icebreaker questions.
• Profile and settings: Use this section to edit your profile and account settings, get help, and view your Personality Profile.
• Dating advice: On this page, read eHarmony success stories and advice columns about common dating issues like first dates and compatibility.

Privacy

To keep you safe while dating online, eHarmony uses two-factor authentication when you log in. This helps protect your account from fraudulent logins. Earn a verification badge for your profile by verifying your account, and only interact with other profiles that have been verified.

The site also uses encryption to keep your personal data private. It may use your personal info for marketing or research purposes.

Best for casual dating

JSwipe is Jewish dating’s answer to Tinder, the most popular dating app in the U.S. Like Tinder, it allows you to swipe right or swipe left on potential matches.1 Swiping right means you’re interested, and swiping left means you’re not. If two people swipe right on each other, they’re considered a match and can chat. Also like Tinder, JSwipe is ideal for casual dating and appeals to a younger crowd of Jewish daters. If you prefer to make quick decisions about who you’d like to date based on a few pics and some basic info, JSwipe is a good option for you.

JSwipe profiles are much simpler and include less info than what you can find on other dating platforms. Since it’s an app and is meant for quick decisions on likes and dislikes, your profile photo and bio are what’s most important to attract matches. The app also provides the following list of religious options:

• Traditional
• Orthodox
• Conservative
• Reform
• Just Jewish
• Willing to convert
• Other

Getting started with JSwipe

To set up an account with JSwipe, download the app and sign up with your Facebook account credentials. Then:

1. Upload a profile photo.
2. Choose your kosher status (yes or no), denomination, and gender.
3. Connect your profile to Instagram if you’d like to.
4. Compose a short bio.
5. Provide information about your occupation, education, university, interests, and height.
6. Preview your profile and decide whether to edit it or move forward.
7. Respond to preferences regarding app tracking, push notifications, and location services.

Once you’ve created your profile, you can immediately begin viewing and swiping. If you want to learn a little more about a prospect, click their profile.

Cost

The paid version of JSwipe is called First Class and is available in three term lengths:

• 1 month: $24.99
• 3 months: $44.97 ($14.99 per month)
• 6 months: $59.94 ($9.99 per month)

The total amount is charged upon purchase, and the subscription auto-renews unless you cancel.

A First Class account can increase your chances of finding matches with the following features:

• Five Super Swipes per day – let a potential match know you’ve noticed them
• One Swipe Note per day – send someone a note before you’ve matched
• Seeing profiles that are labeled as “Most Eligible”
• Viewing who has liked your profile
• Boosting your profile – get noticed twice as much
• Using Explore View and getting unlimited likes
• Photo optimization – the app chooses your best photo
• Using Passport to change your location
• Viewing read receipts on messages

Of course, you can very well get good mileage out of JSwipe with a free account, which lets you add photos, update your profile, chat with any matches, and send one daily Super Swipe. No other platform in this guide provides such utility to free users, which is why JSwipe is a standout in the Features criterion.

App features

JSwipe includes a variety of features that are unlike many of the features offered by other sites in this guide. These features are designed for profile optimization and match effectiveness while also providing various ways to connect and interact.

Privacy

JSwipe takes steps to keep you safe and verify profiles. The app collects personal information that you provide and info about how you use the site, your location, and your interests to better personalize your experience. JSwipe may use third-party companies to review uploaded content (photos) to ensure it meets the company’s guidelines for acceptable material. Your personal info may also be used for marketing, social media promotion, and research purposes using data aggregation.

Best for those who distrust algorithms

If you prefer a human-driven matchmaking experience, SawYouAtSinai (SYAS) is the site we’d recommend. Online matching algorithms have lost their luster with some people — about 35% of Americans feel that algorithms can’t predict good matches.3 SYAS is a unique dating site that takes away the responsibility of finding a match from you and places it with a matchmaker. Think of this site as a high-tech but traditional way of finding a match within the Jewish faith. Like other sites, you create a profile and upload a profile picture, but your SYAS profile is much more in-depth because one of the site’s 300+ matchmakers uses your information to provide you with potential matches. While the site doesn’t have millions of members, it boasts a high rate of successful relationships, including 4,070 engagements.

The matchmakers you work with are real people, and they provide you with dating advice and support in addition to matches. SYAS also sponsors many in-person and virtual dating events, including dinners, game nights, lectures, and other activities to help people find matches, and its Jewish Dating Blog provides articles on dating advice, profile creation, communication in relationships, finding your soulmate, and more.

Getting started with SawYouAtSinai

The SYAS registration page requires that you provide a screen name, password, email address, full name, address, phone number, date of birth, and religious orientation. The religious orientation options are:

• Conservative
• Conservadox
• Chassidish
• Just Jewish
• Lubavitch
• Modern Orthodox (liberal)
• Modern Orthodox (Machmir)
• Modern Orthodox (middle of the road)
• Modern Yeshivish
• Reform
• Spiritual but not religious
• Traditional
• Yeshivish

The site provides a list of definitions of each orientation to ensure that you choose the correct one.

The rest of the registration process has you providing further information about yourself, including additional details about your religious identity:

• Ethnicity (Ashkenazi, Sephardi, mixed/other)
• Cultural background
• Whether you’re a Cohen
• Convert status (yes or no)
• Family’s religious background
• Kosher status
• Frequency of synagogue attendance
• Shabbat observance

There are also sections about your education (including Jewish education), occupation, appearance, family, and lifestyle. The lifestyle section includes questions about Jewish Involvement, including your attendance at Jewish summer camps or university groups and whether you’ve traveled to Israel or are involved in any Jewish causes. Some of the fields are optional.

The penultimate registration page entails selecting your match criteria, with details that include:

• Age
• Height
• Marital status
• Education
• Child status
• Religious orientation
• Kosher status
• Body type
• Ethnicity
• Cultural background

On the final registration page, provide a short bio and information about what you’re looking for in a match. The site also asks you to provide contact info for two personal references, such as close friends, rabbis, or family members.

Cost

SYAS offers four membership tiers:

• Gold 1 month: $22.95
• Gold 3 months: $50.85 (16.95 per month)
• Gold 6 months: $77.70 ($12.95 per month)
• Platinum 1 month: $29.95

After your plan ends, you’ll be charged on a monthly basis thereafter. The recurring cost is equivalent to the monthly cost listed, except for the six-month plan, which will cost $13.95 per month.

The Gold and Platinum plans correspond with different features. Gold members work with two matchmakers, get ten matches per week, get priority listing, and can accept matches. Platinum members get three matchmakers and 12 matches per week, plus they can override match access and allow Basic (free) members to accept them.

Without a paid membership, there isn’t much that you can do on SYAS. You can view and edit your profile, browse a list of matchmakers, and look around at other site features, but you won’t be sent potential matches until you pay for an account.

The SYAS app for iOS and Android allows you to log in with the same credentials as the desktop site. It’s just another way to utilize matchmaker services. Profiles include the same features, and the pricing is the same.

Site features

Your SYAS homepage includes your profile information, dating stats, and any updates to your profile or matches. From there, you can select different site features that help you improve your profile, connect with a matchmaker, and interact with potential mates:

Privacy

SYAS takes many steps to safeguard your information and encourages you to protect your own privacy. The site may use third-party services to process information (including payments) and may use your personal data for marketing, research, and site maintenance. SYAS encourages you to never share your username or password with anyone and to take standard precautions to protect yourself while dating online.

Best for Orthodox Jews seeking marriage

Ringle is an app-only platform primarily marketed toward marriage-focused Orthodox Jews. It uses the same swipe-to-match system as JSwipe and Tinder: swipe right to like, left to skip. In addition, you can swipe up to give a Star Like, communicating that you think a user “truly stands out” to you — similar to JSwipe’s Super Swipe.

Getting started with Ringle

After installing Ringle on your mobile device, you have three signup options: with your Google account, with your phone number, or with your email address. If you sign up with your phone number or email address, Ringle will send a verification code to the corresponding endpoint.

Thereafter, the startup process goes like this:

• Choose whether you’d like to receive push notifications of matches and messages. (“I want to be notified” or “Not now” — you can change your selection later on.)
• Provide your first name.
• Input your birth date.
• Select your gender (“Man” or “Woman” only). Because Ringle is aimed at Orthodox Jewish users, your gender selection automatically filters your searches to the opposite sex (i.e., men exclusively view women’s profiles and vice versa).
• Define your religious identity.
• Define your relationship status: “Single,” “Divorced, no kids,” “Divorced, with kids,” or “Widowed.”
• Add pictures. You must provide a minimum of two photos to register.
• Select your education level.
• Select your level of military service (a “Not serve” option is available).
• Specify your height. (A “Hide” option is available.)
• Share your interests — up to ten. There are four sections: Hobbies, Sports, Food & Drinks, and Pets. Your options are emojis, which aren’t always clear as to what they signify (e.g., sunset and sparkle emojis under Hobbies?).
• Write a brief self-description — up to 500 characters.

With all of that out of the way, you then get a rundown of Ringle’s community guidelines (e.g., your photos must display faces) and set permissions (e.g., location services and, again, push notifications).

As for those religious identity options we mentioned above, you have numerous options:

• Traditional Jewish
• Zionist Yeshivish
• Zionist Orthodox
• Religious
• Modern Orthodox
• Yeshivish Haredi
• Modern Haredi
• Baal Teshuva
• Former Religious
• Former Haredi
• Chabad Hasidic
• Breslov Hasidic
• Other Hasidic
• Just Jewish

You can see there are choices for “Former Religious” and “Just Jewish,” so while Ringle does market itself to Orthodox users, there’s room for non-Orthodox members in its user base.

Cost

With the free version of Ringle, you can right-swipe on 25 profiles every 12 hours before the limit resets; chat with matches (those who swipe right on you as well); and set filters (age, distance, religious preference, and relationship status). You’ll need the paid version if you want to:

• Enjoy unlimited swipes and messaging capability
• Attach messages to your likes/right-swipes
• See who likes you immediately after they right-swipe on your profile
• Use the Rewind Card (take back a like or skip)
• Receive one free profile boost per month

There are three paid subscription plans, differing only in their term lengths:

• 1 month: $24.99
• 3 months: $42.99 ($14.33 per month)
• 6 months: $59.99 (around $10 per month)

The prices are pretty much the same as JSwipe’s, except the three-month plan is a couple of dollars less and the six-month plan is $0.05 more.

You also have the option to purchase boosts separately at $3.99 a pop. That applies to both free and paid users.

App features

There are three key features with Ringle: the aforementioned Star Like, Rewind Card, and profile boost. In addition, all user tiers are able to filter their prospects by age, distance, relationship status, and religious preference.

In terms of the interface, it’s refreshingly simple. There are four tabs:

Privacy

Ringle collects the following types of data:

• Personal information — name, email address, user ID, phone number, sex
• Location (permissions adjustable)
• In-app interactions
• App performance
• Media — your photos and videos uploaded to Ringle

Fortunately, the data is encrypted in transit, and you can request that your data be deleted. Should you want to delete your whole account, you’ll be happy to know it’s a very simple process. Just select the gear icon in the top right-hand corner of your profile/account tab, scroll down, and select Delete Account.

Honorable mention

Even though Zoosk is a mainstream dating site, it’s a popular destination for faith-focused daters because of its ease of use. Setting up an account and browsing potential matches is a simple process, making Zoosk ideal for people who are new to online dating or just want to give it a try. Also, Zoosk has 40 million members worldwide. Although there’s no info on the site about what percentage of those are Jewish, paid users have access to an advanced search feature that allows them to filter by religion.

Getting started with Zoosk

You can create an account using your Facebook or Google account or by providing your:

• Email address
• Password
• Profile picture

Then Zoosk prompts you to answer some basic questions about your appearance, child status, education, ethnicity, lifestyle, and religion. You have the following religious options:

With Jewish dating as your goal, specifying your religion and then filtering your own searches by religion easily allows you to find possible matches and also to be found by other singles with similar dating goals.

Cost

You can browse the site and view other member profiles for free, but a paid subscription allows you to:

• Send messages
• Chat with members
• See who’s viewed your profile
• Use advanced filters (including by religion)
• Use SmartPick (provides potential matches based on compatibility)
• Go ad-free

Here is the breakdown of paid membership options:

• 1 week: $19.99
• 1 month: $35.96 ($8.99 per week)
• 3 months: $59.88 ($4.99 per week)
• 6 months: $95.76 ($3.99 per week)
• 12 months: $129.48 ($2.49 per week)

If you pay by credit card, your subscription will automatically renew for the same term length for which you originally signed up (e.g., a one-month subscription will renew for another month, a six-month subscription for another six months). To prevent recurring charges, you have to cancel your subscription before your term ends.

Both free and paid users can also purchase Zoosk coins that can be redeemed for bonus features like virtual gifts, profile boosts, and delivery confirmations on messages (though only paid users can put their coins toward delivery confirmations, as only paid users can send/receive messages). The pricing structure for Zoosk coins is as follows:

• 180 coins: $19.95
• 480 coins: $39.95
• 1,800 coins: $99.95

Zoosk is ideal for those new to online dating because it includes a diverse set of features for connection and compatibility. You won’t just be swiping left or right — you’ll have several options to find potential matches.

Privacy

Zoosk doesn’t screen or do background checks on members, so it’s up to you to be vigilant and keep yourself safe. To that end, Zoosk provides tips for safe online dating to help you out, and you can authenticate your profile through SMS verification. This protects you from fraudulent logins.

Zoosk collects your personal information and uses it for marketing and site improvements. Zoosk may also share your information with third-party payment or social media sites.
