Met@Chabad is a CYP project in consultation with COCI and Campus Shluchim.
THE 3 COMPONENTS OF MET@CHABAD
Met@Chabad will prepare singles to date for marriage, assist in matching them up, and I”YH facilitate marrying them off.
1. The first step is to educate young adults on how to start “dating for marriage,” what a Jewish marriage really is, and how to build and maintain a healthy relationship. Professional courses and seminars will be taught by shluchim and world-renown speakers online and at hundreds of Chabad on Campus and CYP chapters worldwide.
2. A newly-created matchmaking algorithm, based on Jewish, family, and personal values, is being developed by a team at Yale University and will be powered by professional matchmakers on behalf of students.
3. Training for Shluchim and Shluchos will be provided on how to coach community members through dating and provide them with wedding resources for when a match is made.
