Why there are no testimonials yet

ShidduchMatch launched in 2026. We prefer to be honest: it is still too early to publish stories of couples who met on the site, and we will never publish made-up testimonials.

As soon as the first couples form, and only with their consent, we will share their stories here, with their first names or anonymously, as they prefer.

In the meantime, our small team of matchmakers, including the site's founder, personally reviews the profiles of our first members to help them find their zivug.

Our commitments on testimonials

On many dating sites, testimonial pages are full of stories nobody can verify. We made a different choice: we will only publish real stories, told by the people involved, with their written consent. If no couple has formed yet, this page simply says so.

The testimonials we publish will mention the city and year the couple met, with first names or anonymously as the couple prefers. No story will be rewritten to the point of changing its meaning.

What you can check today

Until the first stories arrive, you can judge ShidduchMatch on concrete things. Signing up and browsing profiles is free. Your photos stay private until you decide to share them. Your data is not sold, as explained in our privacy policy. And profiles are built on precise criteria: religious practice, stream and family plans.

You can also read how matching works on our how it works page.

What a successful shidduch usually looks like

Without inventing stories, we can describe the usual path: a clear profile, compatible suggestions, a few conversations on the site or through a matchmaker, a first date somewhere neutral, then a few meetings to check that values and life plans align. Then come meeting the families and the decision to commit.

Our advice for each step is on the shidduch and first date tips pages.

Sharing your story

If you met through ShidduchMatch, your story could encourage other singles. Write to us and tell us how you would like to appear: first names, initials or fully anonymous, with or without a photo. We will send you the text before publication, and you can ask for it to be removed at any time.

Nothing will be published without the written consent of both people.

Why honesty matters in a shidduch

A shidduch rests on trust: in the information exchanged, in the person making the introduction and in the seriousness of the process. A site that invented testimonials would betray that principle on its very first page. We prefer to start modestly and build a reputation based on facts.

It is also why we encourage honesty in your own profile: it is the foundation of any lasting match.
