Tired of dating apps and awkward mixers? What if you could say you met your bashert breaking challah over Shabbat dinner, playing a comically bad round of mini golf, or picnicking in the botanic gardens?
We host all kinds of unique dating events across the DMV area, designed to be fun, engaging, and a chance to meet like-minded people. Whether it’s a Shabbat dinner, an outing to a performance or sports game, or a creative activity, our events are meant to spark authentic connections in a relaxed and enjoyable environment.
Most events are designed for the Jewish community, and some may have specific parameters such as age ranges or other criteria. Each event listing includes all the details you need to know.
When you join the Luv List, you will get occasional emails about upcoming events.
Paying members of the Luv Circle get first dibs on tickets for open events and exclusive access to members-only experiences.
We want to host events you’re excited to attend — and keep them affordable!
If you have ideas for event, favorite spots, or any connections that could help us keep ticket prices low, we’d love to hear from you. Reach out to events@luvwithlev.com.
