Religious Tinder? New Jewish dating group sparks criticism
Comprising around 500 members, the group’s objective is to facilitate connections among like-minded religious singles.
A religious dating WhatsApp group named “Until We Meet” has ignited controversy by permitting members to upload profile photos, including full-body images, without accompanying text, leading one member to call the group “Tinder for religious singles.”
Eleanor Rahimi, a 35-year-old graphic designer and content creator from Kfar Saba, caused a stir when she revealed on Facebook that the group was suggesting the inclusion of two photos, one of which is a full-body image. The group’s manager even authorized singles to share photos without the customary accompanying self-description.
Comprising around 500 members, all identifying as religious, the group’s objective, according to Rahimi’s interview with The Jerusalem Post, is to facilitate connections among like-minded religious singles.
Rahimi explained, “Participants submit a profile text with their details and a photo, allowing interested parties to reach out to the profile uploader via the group’s manager.” Elenor Rahimi (credit: Elenor Rahimi)
Explaining the rationale behind the change in policy, the group manager stated, “As part of the new group rules, and given that the majority determines whether they wish to proceed with a potential date based on photos, there is no obligation to provide additional details.”
“A WhatsApp dating group for religious people decided to issue a new rule in which it is not necessary to write the member’s details, but only to post a photo.”
