All of a sudden the rules of dating and relationships have changed, and the partner that you were complaining you never got to see is now in your space constantly. Join David Yarus, founder of JSwipe, the largest Jewish dating app; Rayna Greenberg, social influencer and podcast co-host of “Girls Gotta Eat;”Rabbi Richard Steinberg, couples therapist and senior rabbi at Congregation Shir Ha- Ma’alot; Lindsey Metselaar, founder of We Met At Acme, a podcast on millenial dating; and Jared Matthew Weiss, creator and host of Touchpoint, a global, virtual town hall about human connection to discuss the ups and downs of dating and relationships while quarantined.

“Coupling in Quarantine: managing distant dating & close cohabiting” will be moderated by Abby Sher, co-writer of the Bintel Brief.

This is part of our new series, “#ForwardFocus: Talks in Trying Times,” in which Forward editors are moderating weekly talks with Jewish leaders working to build community through this crisis.
