Jewish Online Dating just got Cheaper

JDate, the top Jewish online dating site, is now offering a bulk rate to rabbis who want to buy membership accounts for their congregants. This is the first time in its ten-year history that it has offered any sort of discount. Singles who sign up through their congregation will be eligible for a discount on the site's six-month subscription fee.

Rabbis negotiated the discounted rate with the site, and they are paying part of the difference out of their own pockets. They say they felt compelled to act because of the gradual dilution of the Jewish faith through marriage. Almost 50 percent of American Jews are now marrying non-Jews, and the rabbis would like to put a stop to this.
