Annual 'Time to Love' Dating Conference Returns to Jerusalem with Workshops and Amir Moyal Performance

The annual 'Time to Love' dating conference, organized by Project 252 in collaboration with Ono Academic College, is returning to Jerusalem on September 8, 2026. This year, the event will take place at the Talpiot campus of Ono Academic College and will be limited to 300 participants aged 20-35 from the national-religious community. The boutique format aims to foster more personal interactions and meaningful connections compared to previous larger events.

The conference will feature a rich program including lectures, workshops, speed dating sessions, and a main evening performance by singer Amir Moyal. Attendees can choose from various parallel activities such as lectures by leading professionals including Rabbi Yoni Lavi, Yael Amitai, Ronita Avrahamoff Shapira, Rabbi Danny Lavi, Penina Freilich, Moshe Sharon, and Shlomo Shiber, focusing on emotional barriers, interpersonal communication, and building sustainable relationships.

In addition to face-to-face meetings, a dedicated dating app will operate in real time during the event, allowing participants to see who is present, express mutual interest, and continue conversations beyond scheduled sessions. The event also offers designed seating areas and free kosher food stands to encourage relaxed and informal socializing throughout the afternoon and evening.

Project 252 founder Tzuriel Gavizon emphasized the importance of creating multiple opportunities for connection, stating the event is designed to avoid the anonymity of large crowds and instead promote genuine encounters. Registration is limited to 300 participants to maintain an intimate atmosphere and maximize the chances of meaningful matches.
