Shabbat shalom! This Saturday is Tu B’Av, (the 15th of Av) the Jewish/Israeli “Valentine’s Day.” To honor the long-standing Jewish tradition of Tu B’Av being connected with finding a partner, CoronaCrush will be hosting a global dating event in two segments:
- US & Canada event will be on July 26, 9 PM Eastern Standard Time,
- Israel & Europe event will be on July 26, 9 PM Israel time
Here’s how it works:
- Answer some questions about yourself and your preferences for your partner
- You are then matched with 7 video-chat dates of 7 minutes each
- After the dates, you indicate who you would like to see again
