Project 252 is organizing a nationwide virtual speed dating event for single members of the religious community on Wednesday evening, November 11th, coinciding with Singles' Day. The event, held via Zoom, aims to provide opportunities for religious singles to meet potential partners from the comfort of their homes. Participants will engage in short, 9-minute one-on-one meetings, with the system facilitating up to seven dates within an hour. Matches are pre-arranged based on age, location, and religious affiliation, with only mutual matches proceeding to the dating rounds. After the event, participants can indicate who they found interesting, and if the interest is mutual, contact details will be exchanged. Tzuriel Gabizon, founder of Project 252, stated that the initiative addresses the lack of opportunities for good people to meet, emphasizing that "9 minutes of real conversation says more than a month of swiping on an app." Project 252 is a community for thousands of singles across Israel, offering weekly classes, social events, and age- and sector-specific groups. The Zoom speed dating format is popular within the community, with hundreds of meetings arranged per session. Participation fees range from 70 NIS for first-timers to 49 NIS for returning participants, with a discounted rate of 20 NIS for Project 252 members. Those who do not receive any matches will not be charged. Registration closes on Wednesday at 5:00 PM, and the event begins at 8:00 PM.
