Here is an article from the New York Times about J-date... only some of the players want to date without being a J. The number of non-Jews on the site is difficult to estimate: 50,000 of its 600,000 members identify themselves as religiously "unaffiliated," but they include Jewish members who don't want to identify themselves as "secular" or with any particular sect. But interviews with people who use JDate suggest that gentiles have become an increasingly visible presence in recent years (full disclosure: this reporter is one of them) on a site that was designed to promote mating within the tribe. Ester Shahaf, a graduate of Tel Aviv University in theater and costume design is the talented artist who created these candlesticks. A perfect gift for a pair of newly weds so they can have the first of many Shabbat Shaloms!
