You can be deeply attached to your Jewish identity without being observant. For many, being Jewish means family history, culture, humor, a connection to Israel and a wish to pass it on.
Secular Jewish singles often look for a Jewish partner to share that identity and give it to their children, even without regular religious practice.
On ShidduchMatch, you can state that you are secular and meet people who share the same outlook.
For many secular Jews, Jewish identity is first cultural, historical and familial: memory, holidays with family, attachment to Israel, humor, shared references. They do not practice in the religious sense but care about passing something of that identity on to their children. Meeting someone who understands this without needing it explained is often a strong wish.
It is also why many secular Jews prefer a Jewish dating site to a mainstream app: not for religious reasons, but to share a history and a plan for transmission.
Even without religious practice, some questions eventually arise: a brit milah, a bar or bat mitzvah? Which holidays to celebrate? A Jewish school or day camp? Where to live, in the diaspora or in Israel? Better to talk about them early; answers are not always what you expect, even between two “non-observant” people.
Your profile lets you state these expectations without having to define yourself religiously.
In Israel, hilonim are a large share of the Jewish population; their Jewishness runs through the language, the national calendar, the army and the culture. In the diaspora, secular and cultural Jews are often attached to family memory and the major holidays. These two worlds meet often, especially in Tel Aviv.
If you are considering aliyah or already live in Israel, say so: it opens up matches with secular Israelis who share your lifestyle.
Sometimes a secular Jew meets someone more traditional. These couples work when each truly respects the other's way of life, for example keeping a kosher kitchen at home or celebrating Shabbat as a family without making it an obligation. Honesty from the start is the best guarantee.
See traditional Jewish dating if you are open to that kind of match.
The answer comes down to one word: continuity. Even without religious practice, many secular Jews want their children to grow up with a Jewish identity, family memory and a connection to Israel. Sharing that wish with a spouse makes things much simpler than negotiating it later.
A Jewish site also offers common references, humor and history that create an immediate bond.
