About That Seventh Commandment…
So much for the seventh commandment — you know, the one that forbids adultery.
Shaindy.com, which that caters to Orthodox Jews seeking extramarital liaisons, launched on March 19 — and has since attracted a reported 350 people willing pay the site’s $99 registration fee. According to an article in Sunday’s New York Post, the site was the brainchild of a Midwood, Brooklyn-based Modern Orthodox man, who identifies himself as only “Jerry,” and who “says he got the idea from Hasids he met in chat rooms seeking adulterous action.”
The site’s typo-filled homepage beckons would-be members with decidedly immodest photos and promises of privacy:
Shaindy.com was created with us knowing that in the “frum” community every one is busy all the time to do “mitzvos” and just wanting to discover your identity. taking that in considiration, we have worked extremely hard to avoid any such action and created this site with the utmost security and protection features.
YOU are in charge of who gets to view your info! by just logging on to this site, NOBODY is able to see your REAL information or REAL pictures. everything is held in a private gallery and private storage space that you will be in charge to whom you grant access to!
Featured profiles include that of Hasidic “ChanieS,” partial to “sex, books, massages,” and “Dinah,” a Satmar who, apparently bored with her marriage, is looking for a man with “stamina, passion and muscles.”
Shaindy.com’s motto: A Jew Can Have Fun Too.
I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning journalism this Passover.
In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.
At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.
Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we need 500 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.
Make a gift of any size and become a Forward member today. You’ll support our mission to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
