J Date is the premier Jewish single personals site. With over 650,000 members on Jdate.com you're sure to meet someone your mother will love...

JDate.com is by far the largest and best-respected of the Jewish internet dating sites, with over 650,000 members worldwide (400,000 in the US).

Online since 1997, they bill themselves as the modern alternative to traditional Jewish matchmaking.

And it seems to be working, if the onsite J Date success stories are anything to go by.

JDate is a good-looking website; easy to navigate, with a clean, easy to read layout, lots to do online, and a nice-looking membership.

We like:

This is a well organized Jewish dating service, with a large, active over-40 membership. There were nearly 16,000 members online when we first logged on.

J Date com organizes lots of “real world” Jewish single events and encourages its members to get involved in charity work. They also organize Jewish single travel adventures around the world.

The male/female ratio is 50/50 on this Jewish single personals site and 47% of their members are over the age of 36. Most are urban professionals living in big cities.

We don’t like:

The default search function (by zip or postcode) limits you to within 160 miles of your town or city (although you can get around that by selecting to seach by city).

It’s easier to use the Photo gallery, which lets you search by country.

Still, that’s not major, and if you’re looking to branch into the world of Jewish internet dating, there are lots of Jewish singles over 40 on J Date. This is a nice Jewish matchmaker site, with nice members, who look like they’re all having a whale of a time.
