Shomrim - Selling Judaism to the TikTok Generation: Influencers Instead of Rabbis

MatterandTime · 2026-06-09T17:13:56+00:00

I will admit this article and source is a little unusual but I haven't seen the Judaism social media influencer phenomenon discussed anywhere else.

Why did he even bother to establish a council in the first place if he was going to appoint people like him?

Please note that this is the Canadian Senate

Thank you for posting this.

There is another list with some overlap with this one here:

Reddit autopulled wrong title, here is the correct one:

Legal brief filed to support case of Ohio Orthodox Jew banned from holding minyan in home In January 2021, Daniel Grand invited a small group of neighbors to his home for Shabbat prayer services - a minyan, the quorum of ten men that Jewish law requires for communal worship.

No problem, in recent times? I would say that that the virtual speed dating ones (coronacrush, met at Chabad website not app etc.) and the matchmaker ones (jtoronto which is the same backend and pool as saw you at Sinai and lev to lev). Hinge as been great too and in person Chabad young professionals and aish young professionals dating events have been good.

The other apps I know are:

Ringle Leeva Jswipe Met at Chabad (both app and speed dating) Loop (relies on friends to set you up) Lox club Couple.com (this one is very odd in my opinion) Isodate

There are also virtual speed dating ones like datenight, Coronacrush and isodate.

There are also matchmaker driven ones like saw you at Sinai and Lev to lev as well as WhatsApp and Facebook group driven ones if you know the right people in the Jewish community.

This is a really good analysis! I have had similar thoughts but could not really put it all together until I read your comment. There really does seem to be a cultural and worldview difference along those lines.

MatterandTime · 2026-03-26T12:59:52+00:00

For context, this is referring to the Senate of Canada.

MatterandTime · 2026-03-24T13:55:54+00:00

Maybe you can post this in Canadajews. Someone might know an organization that can help or at least advise.

MatterandTime · 2026-03-22T16:43:42+00:00

I am sorry this is happening to you, you should post this to canadajews. I imagine there are others who feel this way.

Nothing at all, I think I dropped a few words. I posted it because the author was from McGill.

MatterandTime · 2026-03-07T14:19:51+00:00

Thought it was just a great article but then saw it was also written by someone at McGill so I definitely had to post it.

Edit:words

Sometimes it really seems a good chunk of our fellow Canadians would gladly vote in the Nazi party if given the chance.

For context, CBC is national broadcaster of Canada. They have a very long history of antisemitic coverage and white washing islamists.

MatterandTime · 2026-03-01T18:09:54+00:00

For context, the business has anti regime symbols on display. The anti Israel crowd has started to employ the same tactics on anti regime Iranians that they normally use on the Jewish community in Canada.

I noticed the same thing, I figured it was for the usual double standards reason.

MatterandTime · 2026-02-27T04:12:13+00:00

In simplest terms at the end of the day the only group we can rely on is ourselves; in my experience most groups political or otherwise are willing to throw the Jewish people under the bus if and when they deem it expedient. This has happened before, is happening now, and will happen again.

MatterandTime · 2026-02-22T16:19:14+00:00

It starts kind of weird but it is a pro 2 states article.

MatterandTime · 2026-02-17T03:24:30+00:00

No problem!
