In this episode, I’m joined by Shirel a digital nomad with Indian-Israeli roots, a spicy palate, and a heart full of Jewish values.

We talked about one of my favorite philosophies: “Date ‘Em Til You Hate ‘Em” giving people a real chance, staying open, and learning about yourself in the process.

Shirel shared:

•⁠ ⁠Her dating journey across Tel Aviv and Philly
•⁠ ⁠How October 7th deepened her Jewish identity
•⁠ ⁠What she’s looking for: someone kind, curious, and adventurous (hot air balloon optional 😉)

💌 If you know someone who might be a match for Shirel, send them our way. Because we believe anyone can make a match.
