As the website of its developer says, Yenta is a free location based mobile phone application that connects Jewish singles with other singles near them! It’s serendipity at its best, whether at school, work or a local hangout. You can instantly see who is Jewish, single and wants to meet near you. And when you change your location, a new set of singles appears based on their proximity to you so never miss a potential match!
Yenta is available for use on all iPhone models and iPads. It's downloadable from iTunes.
In this video, New York Post reporter Tara Palmeri demonstrates the use of the Yenta app as she finds a potential Jewish date on the streets of New York.

ReplyDeleteno apps for them! just good old matching by family yichus etc most of the time the couple meets five times and the first date is usually in the lobby of a hotel No holding hands, no privacy Sometimes, parents need to buy an apt for the couple because the chatan wants to learn and the kalla needs to work
After the kids start being born, things may change
It''s quite impressive.
