Ready to take a break from dating apps and meet someone the old-fashioned way—face to face? Jewish Speed Dating is designed for Jewish singles in their 20s and 30s who want real conversations, shared culture, and a night that feels social, not awkward.
Whether you’re hoping to bring a plus-one to an upcoming family event, meet someone who “gets it,” or simply enjoy a great night out with like-minded people, this event creates the space to connect naturally and comfortably.
The evening kicks off with structured speed dating, making it easy to meet everyone without pressure or guesswork. You’ll rotate through a series of short, three-minute conversations—long enough to feel out the vibe, short enough to keep things fun and moving. No swiping, no small talk paralysis, just genuine face-to-face interaction.
How the night works:
After checking in, you’ll be seated at a numbered table and guided through the rotations as our hosts keep the night running smoothly. After each mini-date, you can jot down your thoughts to help remember who you clicked with. Once the speed dating rounds wrap up, the evening transitions into a casual social mixer where you can continue conversations, grab a drink, and relax.
This event is open to anyone who identifies as Jewish, regardless of denomination or level of observance. The speed dating portion pairs men with women for this event, and we’re excited to be expanding our lineup with Queer Jewish events soon.
Why people love this event:
Hosted at Bananas in the East Village, the venue offers a stylish yet comfortable setting that makes meeting new people feel effortless and fun.
If you’re ready to step away from the apps and meet Jewish singles in a way that’s social, lively, and refreshingly real, this is your chance. Tickets are limited and tend to sell out, so reserve your spot early and get ready for a night of connection, laughter, and possibility.
