Matchmaking Services, Prices & Terms

Most dating services invite you into a “pool” — crowded, chlorinated, anonymous. It’s loud. It’s exhausting. And it often feels like no one is really looking.

At Ahava Northwest, we’re building something different.

We don’t have a pool. We have a tidepool.

A tidepool is small, intentional, and alive — shaped by natural rhythms and full of possibility. It’s a temporary, sacred space where real connection can take root.

In our Matchmaking Tidepool, everyone is seen.

As people find their match and step out, the ecosystem shifts — making space for others. The tide comes in, the tide goes out, and our community evolves with it.

This isn’t about staying in forever. It’s about stepping in with care.

It’s about showing up for love — and for each other.

Tier Framework

Why We Use a Tiered Support Model

At Ahava Northwest, your membership tier does not reflect your worth, attractiveness, or relationship potential. Everyone in our Matchmaking Tidepool is considered for potential matches, no matter the level of financial contribution.

Your support helps fund so much more than matchmaking — it helps us build a community rooted in the full meaning of Ahava: love in all its forms — romantic, spiritual, communal, and embodied.

By joining us, you’re helping to:

Sustain personalized, human-centered matchmaking
Compensate our team with fair, livable wages
Expand outreach into rural areas and smaller Jewish communities across the Northwest
Host inclusive spaces and events for singles to explore connection, not just dating
Elevate Jewish conversations around love, sexuality, intimacy, and selfhood
Subsidize access for those who may not otherwise be able to participate

Ensure that Jewish connection, belonging, and love remain a visible and joyful part of Northwest Jewish life for years to come
