A note from Dr. Jack
Before I was a matchmaker, I was an orthopedic surgeon. Before that, I was a student in a family with deep roots in Jewish learning, first in Cairo and then in New York. Medicine taught me to listen carefully and to look past the obvious symptom. More than thirty years of teaching Jewish studies taught me what actually holds a marriage together.
Dating apps promise volume. What serious singles usually need is one person who takes the time to know them: their values, their family, their level of observance, and the kind of home they hope to build. That is the work I do. I meet you, I learn your story, and I introduce you only to people I genuinely believe can be right.
You may have seen me on Netflix's Jewish Matchmaking. What the cameras could not show is the quiet work that makes a shidduch succeed: listening. Over the past twenty years that approach has led to more than 500 shidduchim. The same attention goes into my counseling work with couples at every stage of marriage. If you are ready to date with intention, I would be glad to speak with you.
Warmly,
Rabbi Dr. Jack Cohen
