JDate Review
Our Overall Score: 89%

JDate has been successfully finding matches for its members since the site’s launch in 1997. Now, a decade later, it has become the top Jewish online dating website. Its search features show that the site recognizes the wide variety of ethnicities, religious variations, and preferences within Judaism. Learn more!

Free members do not have many communication options, so if you like the site, definitely upgrade to access email, instant messaging, and video chat. Although a little more expensive than some other Internet personals sites, JDate is worth the investment. You will be pleasantly surprised with the amount of search options and interactive features loaded on the site.
