Jewish marriage & matchmaking, with respect.
Amanina is a marriage-minded matchmaking app that welcomes Jewish singles — including those with Mizrahi and Sephardi roots in the Arab world — alongside Muslim, Christian, Druze and secular members. Many Jewish members wish to marry within the faith, and that is where introductions begin: two people of different faiths are introduced only when both have said they are open to it. With members who tell us they're Muslim, Amanina also keeps to Islam's rulings on marriage: a Jewish woman and a Muslim man may be introduced when both have said they're open, while a Muslim woman is introduced only to Muslim men. Amanina's few considered introductions carry the same spirit as the shidduch tradition.
Why does Jewish matchmaking feel at home on Amanina?
Because many Jewish families already know the shidduch — the considered introduction, made by someone who knows both people and often both families, weighed for seriousness before anyone meets. Amanina carries that spirit without claiming a shadchan's chair: members receive a few marriage-minded introductions with the reasoning shown openly, and family can be welcomed into the journey at the member's pace — never an endless feed.
There is heritage here, too. Jewish families lived in — and helped shape — Baghdad, Aleppo, Cairo, Sana'a and Casablanca; in some of those cities the story runs back well over two thousand years. Many Jewish members carry the same languages, food, humour and family rhythm as everyone else on Amanina. For members with Mizrahi or Sephardi roots, this means meeting people who read that shorthand without a footnote — no one asking you to explain your world from the start.
How does Amanina respect marrying within the faith without judging anyone?
By starting where many Jewish members already are, and leaving the door in your hands. For many Jewish members — observant and secular alike — marrying within the faith matters deeply, and questions of tradition and descent belong to you, your family and, whenever you wish, a rabbi you trust. Amanina does not rule on any of it. You are introduced within your own faith unless you and the other person have both said you are open across faiths — so marrying within the faith is where your introductions begin, with nothing for you to set and never sold as a feature, and you can say you are open, or take it back, whenever you choose.
With members who tell us they're Muslim, Amanina also keeps to Islam's rulings on marriage: a Jewish woman and a Muslim man may be introduced when both have said they're open, while a Muslim woman is introduced only to Muslim men. Nobody is scored lower for their faith or community. Amanina listens to what you ask for and shows the reasoning behind each introduction openly, so you stay in charge of every choice.
How do family and tradition take part?
At your pace, and only if you choose. A Jewish wedding is a family celebration long before the chuppah — and for many families, the introduction stage is where that care quietly begins. Amanina lets you invite a parent or a trusted elder to take part the way your family already does: reviewing an introduction, offering a blessing, being present as things become serious.
You decide who is involved and when, and their role supports your judgement rather than replacing it. For families who prefer discretion, nothing is public and nothing is shared without your say.
How are members verified as real people?
Every member is checked to be a real, present person before introductions begin — a genuine photo and, where offered, identity verification — so you are meeting people who are who they say they are. It is one of the quiet ways Amanina protects the seriousness of a marriage-minded search. You share your details with people, not with the open internet, and you control what is visible at each step.

- Can Jewish and non-Jewish members both use Amanina?
- Yes. Amanina is for everyone who marries this way — Jewish, Muslim, Christian, Druze and secular alike, with Arab, African and Central Asian families all at home in it — and nobody is scored lower for their faith or community.
