After 60, many Jewish singles want to share their daily life again: someone to share Shabbat meals, holidays, travel and family moments with.
Widowed, divorced or never married, members this age value sincere conversations and take the time to get to know each other.
ShidduchMatch is easy to use, available in four languages, and you can get help from a family member or a matchmaker.
At 60 and beyond, the wish to share one's life remains. After widowhood, divorce or a long time alone, many people want to find a presence, companionship, someone to celebrate holidays and Shabbat with. Judaism values life as a couple at every age.
What people look for varies: remarriage, a shared life, or a friendship that might grow. Stating it in your profile helps you meet people with the same expectations.
At this age, family is often very present: children, grandchildren, sometimes great-grandchildren. Their view of a new relationship may be warm or more reserved. Taking time to introduce a new partner, respecting the memory of a late spouse and reassuring them on practical matters usually helps.
Questions of assets and housing also deserve calm discussion, ideally with professional advice.
Many people over 60 are new to online dating. ShidduchMatch is designed to be simple, available in English, French, Hebrew and Russian, with the option of a matchmaker's support. You do not need to be comfortable with technology: a relative can help you set up your profile.
Stay cautious: never send money or banking information, and tell someone close to you about any unusual request. See our safety page.
Many Jewish retirees settle in Israel, notably in Netanya, Jerusalem, Ra'anana or Ashkelon, while others split the year between two countries, as snowbirds in Miami do. If that is your situation, say so: it opens up matches with people going through the same transition.

A first date at 60 or older is often a coffee, lunch or daytime walk. Choose a public place, let someone close to you know, and take time to get acquainted without pressure. There is no rush: what matters is feeling good together.
If the other person lives far away, a video call is a good way to get to know each other before travelling.
Community life offers many natural settings for meeting people at any age: synagogue kiddushim, adult education classes, volunteer work, holiday events, trips organized by community centers. Combining these with online dating widens your circle while keeping things relaxed.
Many people also find that simply being active and surrounded makes them more open to new encounters.
