Building Human-Centered Jewish Connection, Worldwide
Dating apps optimized for speed and scale.
Love by Shaina optimizes for people.
We build human-led community hubs where Jewish connection, relationships, and belonging can grow in a healthy, intentional way.
Who We Are
Love by Shaina is a community-based initiative focused on real human connection. We work at the intersection of matchmaking, community building, and guided social experiences. Not through algorithms, but through people. Our work includes:
• Community matchmaking
• Trained human facilitators and matchmakers
• Curated social and cultural experiences
• One-on-one guided support
• Partnerships with Jewish and cultural organizations
We believe connection is not a luxury. It is infrastructure.
Why This Matters Now
Across Jewish communities worldwide, people are experiencing deep connection fatigue.
Dating apps promised ease and abundance, but delivered burnout, confusion, and emotional exhaustion.
Swipe culture removed context, values, and accountability.
After October 7, the need for belonging, safety, and community became even more urgent.
People want to meet in spaces that feel intentional, values-driven, and human.
Love by Shaina exists to meet that moment.
