DateNight AI has partnered with Jewish News, CoronaCrush, Partners in Torah and other Jewish organisations around the world to hold the largest virtual speed dating event for Jews in honour of Tu B’Av, also known as Jewish Valentine’s Day.

Held on Wednesday 21 August at 1am UK time (20 August 8pm EST in the US), on DateNight’s virtual platform, this free event aims to connect 5,000 Jewish singles worldwide in an unprecedented virtual gathering, fostering meaningful connections within the community.

Following the success of last year’s event, which saw participation from over 3,000 attendees and resulted in over 500 matches, DateNight AI and its partners have set the ambitious goal for this year of attracting 5,000 participants. The event promises to be a landmark occasion for marriage-minded Jewish singles to connect in a dynamic and engaging online environment.

DateNight, Coronacrush and Partners in Torah are collaborating with Jewish News, Masa, Nefesh B’Nefesh, Telfed and the Australian Jewish Association to create two virtual events in one day to accommodate people from different time zones.

“We are thrilled to partner with so many incredible Jewish organisations for this amazing event,” says Ian Mark, CEO of DateNight AI. “Our goal is to create a meaningful and effective dating experience for Jewish singles, helping them forge genuine connections in a fun and interactive way,”
