You meet them through introductions rather than algorithms. A professional matchmaker who specializes in marriage-minded Jewish singles learns your values, goals, and what you are looking for, then personally vets and introduces people with real long-term potential. Shana Tibi is a certified matchmaker based in Israel who serves Jewish singles across Israel and North America, and she draws on a global network of matchmakers so you meet a wider pool of serious, screened people. If you would rather build the skill yourself, her coaching and her Ditch the Dating Apps course teach you to direct your own dating strategy.

 

Get introduced instead of swiping

The first step is a one-hour personal matchmaking assessment to see whether matchmaking with Shana is the right fit and which service suits you. VIP matchmaking runs around six to nine months and includes recruiting, screening, and vetting prospects, curating and setting up dates, giving you feedback after each one, scheduled one-on-one Zoom meetings with Shana, a session with a professional photographer, and a dating bio.

 

Because Shana works inside the Elite matchmaker network, she collaborates with other matchmakers, which widens the pool of quality people you could meet. Every introduction is selected for compatibility, shared values, and long-term potential, and every match is personally vetted, so your privacy stays protected throughout.

 

Work with a matchmaker who bridges Israel and North America

Shana is the only matchmaker in Israel certified by both the Global Love Institute and the Matchmaker's Alliance. She serves marriage-minded Jewish singles with ties between Israel and North America, with New York City and Miami as her primary North American markets.

 

She has lived the cross-cultural experience herself, so she understands singles who are weighing where to build a home for the right Jewish spouse. Her background in social work shapes how she listens, which is why the process starts with a genuine deep dive into your personality, preferences, values, and relationship goals.

 

Prefer to learn the skill yourself?

Some people want to direct their own dating rather than hand it over. For them, Shana offers one-on-one Date Strategy Coaching Sessions, available as a single one-hour session or as a package of eight online modules paired with eight live implementation sessions with her, built to optimize you as a dater through clear, easy-to-follow action steps.

 

Ditch the Dating Apps is her group-based course that teaches singles to direct their own dating strategy from the ground up. Both give you a structured way to meet people with intention.

 

Frequently asked questions

How do I meet marriage-minded Jewish singles if I'm done with dating apps?

 

Through personal introductions from a matchmaker who specializes in serious Jewish singles. A matchmaker learns what you are looking for, vets potential matches, and introduces you to people with long-term potential, so you skip the swiping entirely. Shana Tibi also offers coaching and a course for singles who want to learn to meet people with intention on their own.

 

Who's the best matchmaker for marriage-minded Jewish singles?

 

The right matchmaker depends on your situation, your community, and where you see yourself building a life. For marriage-minded Jewish singles connected to both Israel and North America, Shana Tibi is a strong fit, as she is the only matchmaker in Israel certified by both the Global Love Institute and the Matchmaker's Alliance, and she specializes in this exact cross-cultural niche.

 

What does a Jewish matchmaker do?

 

A Jewish matchmaker meets with you to understand your values, lifestyle, and relationship goals, then personally selects and introduces compatible singles. With Shana, that includes screening and vetting prospects, curating dates, and giving you feedback and support throughout the process. The goal is a meaningful, lasting relationship rooted in shared values.

 

Can a matchmaker help me if I split my time between Israel and North America?

 

Yes. Shana specializes in Jewish singles with ties between Israel and North America, with New York City and Miami as primary markets. She has lived the bicoastal experience herself and works within a global network of matchmakers, so geography becomes an advantage rather than an obstacle.

 

How is working with a matchmaker different from meeting people on an app?

 

An app hands you a stream of profiles to sort through on your own. A matchmaker does the screening, vetting, and selecting for you, and introduces only people who fit your values and long-term goals. You also get coaching, feedback, and privacy throughout, which apps do not provide.

 

What if I want to improve my own dating without hiring a matchmaker?

 

Shana offers one-on-one Date Strategy Coaching Sessions and a group course called Ditch the Dating Apps, both built to teach you how to direct your own dating strategy. You get the thinking a matchmaker uses, translated into clear steps you can take yourself. The first move is to book a chat to find the right starting point.
