How it actually works

A real shadchan reads your story.

No personality quiz. A rebbetzin, a matchmaker, a friend-of-the-community — someone who knows the shuls, the schools, the layers behind “a little more yeshivish.”

Introductions arrive by name.

Written, not algorithmic. One at a time, with context you can act on — not a feed to scroll, not a queue to clear.

Gatherings, voices, places to belong.

Shabbatons, salons, a daven board, and honest writing about dating in your thirties — something to come back to between introductions.

The founding circle. shuk.love opens with this page. The first introduction cards publish once the first members approve theirs — which means the people who join now shape what this place becomes. No fee, no catch, no algorithm watching. Just a person reading your story.

01 — Introductions

Meet through a person.

The oldest technology in the world: someone who knows you both. Here's how it works — slowly, privately, with a human being reading every word.

You tell us about yourself

The form below — who you are, what your life looks like, what you're actually hoping for. It goes to a person, not a database. Nothing is published without your explicit consent.

We write your introduction

A short, anonymized card — first initial, age, city, hashkafa, and what makes you you. You approve every word before it appears. No photos, no last names, no profiles to dissect.

Interest goes both ways — through us

Someone reads your card and wants to know more? They reply through us. If you're interested too, we connect you directly. If not, they never know who you were.

Request an introduction

Private. Read by one person. Never published or shared without your written consent. Free during the founding period.

Anonymized · approved by each member

S. 41 · Toronto · Modern Orthodox · never married

I'm a single mom and homeschooler to my twelve-year-old daughter (and three cats), and I'm taking time right now to focus on health and family. I'm an artistic soul — song, dance, visual art — I love to cook, bake, and work out, and I put prayer, learning, and teaching Torah at the center of my life.

Hoping to meet: an established, mature man (5'10"+) with real life experience, a warm and generous spirit, and a fiery love for Hashem — health-conscious, enjoys cooking and working out, with an artistic, energetic streak. A man who wants children and would embrace being a father figure to my daughter.

03 — Voices

Say the true thing.

Being single at 34 in a community built around families is its own country, and almost nobody describes it honestly — the Shabbos invitations that dry up, the simchas that are joy and ache at once, the chuppah where you're so happy and so tired.

This wall is for the honest version. Write a letter — about the waiting, the funny parts, the faith, the Tuesday nights. We publish the real ones, anonymously, with your approval. Singles reading each other's true words: that's also a way of meeting.

"The first letters publish here once the first writers approve them. Yours could be the one that makes someone else feel less alone this Shabbos." — The wall is open

04 — The daven board

Carry each other's names.

The oldest segulah of all: davening for someone else who needs the same yeshuah. Add a name to the board — yours, or someone you love — and take one name to carry in your tefillos.

How it works: submit a Hebrew name and mother's name (e.g. רחל בת לאה) — first names only, no surnames, no cities. The board publishes the list. Whoever opens this page is asked to daven for one name on it.

Chazal teach: one who davens for their friend, and they need the same thing, is answered first (Bava Kamma 92a). This board is that, organized.
