LiveShadchan: First-of-its-Kind Platform Transforming the Shidduch World Groundbreaking platform enables singles to directly access, schedule, and compensate Shadchanim for their time so singles can get the attention they deserve. GLOBAL — October 14, 2026 — Finding and accessing the right Shadchan can be one of the most challenging parts of the dating process. A single may reach out to a Shadchan and wait days, weeks or longer for a callback, unsure if their profile has been reviewed, or considered for matches. At the same time, many traditional Shadchanim carry overwhelming caseloads, spending countless hours on phone calls, research, and follow-ups, often l’shem mitzvah and with little or no financial compensation. LiveShadchan, a new online platform launched in July 2026, with a lineup of experienced international Shadchanim and Dating Coaches, was created to address this imbalance by providing singles with direct access to dedicated matchmaking professionals. The platform empowers singles to take control of their shidduch journey. Instead of waiting passively, singles can actively connect with experienced Shadchanim and dating coaches, browse their areas of expertise across all backgrounds, from Chabad, Chassidish, and Yeshivish to Modern Orthodox and Jewish traditional and everything in between, and schedule and pay for dedicated sessions directly online. Singles can also create a profile in the LiveShadchan database at no cost. "Sometimes the hardest part is simply knowing who to turn to and being able to access that person," said Rachel Lefkowitz, Founder of LiveShadchan." With LiveShadchan, you’re not just another name on a list nor another resume in a pile. I wanted to create a place where singles could see their options, learn about the professionals available to them, and have a simple way to schedule focused time and receive the attention they deserve, while at the same time ensuring Shadchanim feel valued for the endless care and energy they devote to every individual." Unlike traditional community models, LiveShadchan empowers Shadchanim and coaches to set their own services, availability, and fee structures. The core principle behind the platform is straightforward: when a Shadchan's time is compensated, they can devote sustained focus and high-quality attention to each individual. To assist singles who may be unsure where to start, Lefkowitz is personally available to guide users through the platform and help identify which Shadchan or Dating Coach best suits their background and personal goals. The platform also offers LiveShadchan Gift Certificates, allowing family and friends to gift a session to a loved one searching for their bashert. This covers the cost of the meeting, while still giving the recipient full flexibility to choose the exact Shadchan or dating coach that best suits them. Since launching in July 2026, LiveShadchan has received a tremendous response from both Shadchanim and singles. The platform is continuously onboarding additional shidduch professionals while rapidly growing a global database of singles across all hashkafos, locations, and age groups.
