Who is JWed meant for?
JWed is for Jewish singles who are serious about finding a marriage partner and building a Jewish home.^top

What are the different Jewish outlooks on JWed?
You can choose between Jewish and Jewish Orthodox when joining JWed. Jewish members may choose from Reform, Conservative, Conservadox, Traditional, Traditional & Growing, or Other.

If you join as Jewish Orthodox, you will have several observance categories you can choose from to best classify yourself. Because these labels may be understood differently in different parts of the world, we have published guidelines to help facilitate searches based on this important measure of compatability.^top

Can people undergoing a giyur (conversion) join the service?
Gerim (converts) are as welcome to join as Jews by birth. However, you must wait until the halachic giyur process is finished before joining.^top

Can separated people join the service?
Only unmarried individuals may join JWed. If you are separated but not yet halachically divorced, do not try to join. You must also have a civil divorce to join.^top

Can I have more than one account on JWed?
No. Only one membership is allowed per person.^top

I am a shadchan/friend/relative of a single person and I want to register him/her. Can I?
No. Every member should be signing up by him/herself and represent him/herself only. If you know people who want to get married, do not sign up in their name or for them - just suggest to them that they sign up themselves. Do not act as an agent for anyone else.^top

Why do I need to provide JWed with my real name and phone number when registering?
JWed prides itself on running the most serious and sincere service. All profiles are screened not only for religious level, but for a sincerity in wanting to get married and a readiness to sincerely do so through the JWed system. Providing your real name and contact information during registration adds another dimension of sincerity and accountability. JWed may at times contact a member to verify the accuracy of a profile.^top

Can anyone see my e-mail address or my real name?
No other member can see your e-mail address, your real name, or your phone number. This personal and confidential information is not seen at any time by anyone except for the JWed administrators. Any messages that are sent to you by another member are sent through the secure and anonymous JWed messaging system. The system then sends a notification to your external e-mail address (delivery to external e-mail is not guaranteed; it is suggested that members logon to the system on occasion to check for new mail), informing you that you have a message waiting in your JWed message box (on the website). The member sending you the message at no time sees your e-mail address, real name, or phone number. It is up to you if you wish to exchange e-mail addresses or other contact information with another member.^top

Can I lie about my age, height or other personal information?
Members are expected to be truthful in their profiles; lying will not be tolerated. Nobody should be ashamed about their age or anything else. Anyone caught lying in their profile may be removed and banned from the service.^top
