Nivneh Shidduchim

For singles

Someone in your corner.

You should not have to be the one making your own case. A Partner Advocate does that for you: someone who knows you, believes in you, and can speak about you the way you cannot speak about yourself.

Request a Partner Advocate

What an advocate does

She speaks for you, from outside

Your Partner Advocate networks on your behalf and guides you as an outside party rather than as a mother or a sister. That distance is deliberate. It is what lets her advocate freely, and it is what makes other people listen differently.

She makes sure you are presented in the best possible light, to the right people, at the right time. She presents you to shadchanim and other appropriate contacts, and she can also connect you with the kinds of practical support that are relevant to you.

And she is not doing it alone. She sits on a team of about ten advocates led by an experienced team leader, which means your name and your qualities travel a great deal further than one person’s contacts.

  • Her shidduch contact person's name, relationship to her, phone number, and email.
  • If you want to name a Partner Advocate you would prefer, the form asks for her full name, phone number, email and city, and why you think they would suit each other.
