Miriam & Robert
Widow
Ages 67 & 71
Boca Raton, FL
"After losing my husband of 42 years, I never thought I would love again. My children encouraged me to try JSoulMates. I almost did not join — I thought I was too old, that the right person simply did not exist for me anymore. Then I met Robert. He had lost his wife three years earlier and understood grief in a way nobody else could. Our first conversation lasted four hours. We talked about our late spouses, our grandchildren, our dreams. Six months later he proposed under the stars in Jerusalem. We got married in May with all our children and grandchildren around us. I never imagined being this happy again."
💛 "It is never too late. Your bashert may have been waiting for you all along."

Ruth & Bernard
Ages 58 & 63 Chicago, IL
"I was divorced after 28 years and had given up on finding someone who shared my Modern Orthodox values and love of learning. Bernard messaged me about a Daf Yomi shiur we both attended virtually. We studied together for three months before our first date. Now we learn together every morning over coffee."

Esther & Howard
Widower New York, NY
"Howard lost his wife to cancer. I lost my husband two years before. We were both not ready for a long time. JSoulMates matched us based on our values and life stage. On our first date we walked along the Hudson and talked for five hours. We understood each other in a way only two people who have experienced real loss can."

Sandra & Michael
Professionals Los Angeles, CA
"Both of us are retired professionals — I was a physician, he was an attorney. We had both tried general dating apps and found them exhausting and undignified. JSoulMates felt different. The people here are serious, accomplished and genuinely looking for a partner. Michael proposed at our favorite Shabbat restaurant."

Leah & David
Divorced Miami, FL
"After my divorce at 54 I thought my chances were gone. David was also divorced and we bonded over the shared experience of rebuilding. He is more patient, wiser and more loving than anyone I met when I was younger. Sometimes you need to live a whole life before you are ready for the right person."

Phyllis & Norman
Widow Scottsdale, AZ
"Norman was my shadchan's suggestion — she knew us both from the community. He called me on a Thursday, we met for coffee on Sunday, and by the following Shabbat we both knew. At our age you do not waste time when something feels right. We got married four months later. Simple. Beautiful. Exactly right."

Gloria & Steven
Ages 61 & 65 New Jersey
"We bonded over our shared love of Israeli music and Shabbat. Steven drove three hours for our first date. We have been inseparable since. He told me later he knew from my profile prompt — I had written that my favorite Shabbat memory was singing Lecha Dodi with my father. He grew up with the same melody."
