JMatchmaking

TC Jewfolk is excited to welcome a new project in 2025 – JMatchmaking.

JMatchmaking – also known as Old School Jewish Matchmaking (OSJM) – is a program open to singles 65 and over who would like to be fixed up.

Freshly retired from careers in the business world and looking to give back to the community, Char Cohodes and Freddie Weisberg co-founded OSJM as a labor of – and for – love.

Their roster is now open to Jewfolk of a certain age, as well as those they call “Jewish-adjacent,” people with ties to the community. Seniors looking for a match, or those helping an interested senior, should join our new Facebook Group, Old School Jewish Matchmaking, or email [email protected].

Operating OSJM on a volunteer basis, longtime friends Cohodes and Weisberg view their efforts as part of their personal commitment to tikkun olam,repairing or improving the world.

One of the goals of this group and this project is to help with the problem of loneliness in this age group in the Jewish Twin Cities.

Matchmaking is an ancient Jewish tradition, one that recognizes the unpredictability and variability in bringing together two people for the potential of a shared future.

This project is a true + beautiful mitzvah and something that we’re so proud to bring to our community!
