Chabad to Host 13,000-Single Virtual Dating Event as AI Matchmaking Gets Human Vetting

Summary
Aug. 9 will bring what Chabad says is the largest Jewish virtual speed-dating event, with 13,000 singles from more than 30 countries joining five one-on-one video dates.
Every participant is vetted by a local rabbi or rebbetzin, while Met@Chabad uses AI to suggest matches rather than letting algorithms run the process alone.
Rabbi Mendy Kotlarsky said the model responds to growing distrust of dating apps, where users question whether profiles, photos or even messages are authentic.
Met@Chabad also offers coaching, relationship courses and mentor guidance, framing the effort as a broader push to strengthen marriage and family as people marry later and search for love online.
