Our dedicated team of local volunteers takes meticulous care to introduce singles based upon their specific ideals and goals. We are eager to get to know each single on a personal level, and it remains our top priority to treat each individual with professionalism, sensitivity, and respect.

Singles, or their representatives from various communities, present profiles for us to review at our monthly shidduch group meetings. The information is kept with great discretion in our private database to be reviewed frequently. In addition, we organize and host singles events such as shabbatonim, speed dating, and luncheons. We look forward to sharing exciting events with you in the coming months. Sh’nainu will plan each event with consideration to a specific age group and hashkafa.

We welcome volunteers to help us in this important endeavor. Please submit your profile or questions to Shidduchedisonhp@gmail.com and a volunteer shadchan will contact you in a timely manner.
