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.

This is a moment of great uncertainty for the news media, for the Jewish people, and for our sacred democracy. It is a time of confusion and declining trust in public institutions. An era in which we need humans to report facts, conduct investigations that hold power to account, tell stories that matter and share honest discourse on all that divides us.
With no paywall or subscriptions, the Forward is entirely supported by readers like you. Every dollar you give this Passover is invested in the future of the Forward — and telling the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
The Forward doesn’t rely on funding from institutions like governments or your local Jewish federation. There are thousands of readers like you who give us $18 or $36 or $100 each month or year.
Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
