In Chabad-Lubavitch, marriage is seen as building a "mikdash me'at", a small sanctuary, and often as the starting point of a life of shlichus in the service of others.
Meetings usually happen through family, friends or a shadchan, with conversations focused on values, learning and life plans: staying in the community or going on shlichus.
Whether you grew up in a Chabad family or became a chassid along the way, ShidduchMatch lets you state these expectations.
In Chabad, the shidduch follows a well-established path. Suggestions usually come from relatives, yeshiva or seminary teachers, or well-known shadchanim in the community. Each family quietly looks into the other before agreeing to a meeting. Many also seek a blessing or guidance by writing to the Igros Kodesh, the Rebbe's letters, before moving forward.
Dates are simple and focused on essentials: the vision of the home, the place of Chassidus in daily life, life plans, and especially the question of shlichus.
Many young Chabad couples plan to go on shlichus, settling as emissaries in a city or country where they will run a Chabad House. It is a life-defining commitment: it decides where you live, often far from family, what work you do, and how children are raised.
Knowing early whether both people share this goal, or prefer community life in Crown Heights, Kfar Chabad or elsewhere, is essential. You can say so clearly in your profile.
Crown Heights in Brooklyn remains the heart of the movement and the largest concentration of Chabad singles in the world; see Jewish dating in New York. In Israel, Kfar Chabad, Jerusalem and Tzfat have large communities, while Paris has many active Chabad families.
Smaller communities exist in London, Montreal, Melbourne, Johannesburg and the hundreds of cities where shluchim live.
Chabad includes many baalei teshuvah who came to Chassidus through a local Chabad House. Their integration into the shidduch system is often natural, though some families ask about background. It is best to be open about it in your profile.
If you feel close to Chabad without being fully part of the community, you can say that too.
Beyond the shidduch itself, the central question is the home you want to build: the place of farbrengens and learning Chassidus, an open house for guests, shiurim, and raising children in the spirit of the Rebbe. Many Chabad couples give these topics real weight from the first dates.
Discussing them frankly, while letting the relationship grow, is the best way to recognize the right person. For the common ground across communities, see what is a shidduch.
For bochurim and girls finishing seminary, the timing of shidduchim often follows the rhythm of study: after smicha or a year on shlichus for young men, after seminary or a teaching year for young women. Those finishing their studies later, or dating again after a divorce, can simply explain their situation in the profile.
What matters is being ready to build a home, whatever the exact stage.
