Introducing a New YIS Shidduch Initiative:

The YIS Singles Network Live (SNL) - WhatsApp Group Forum


YIS Singles Network Live is a platform for the YIS community. The platform will provide the community with a resource for singles and shadchans alike to see what singles events are being offered in the Tri-State area, in particular, and in other geographic areas, as well - for those singles who may be traveling outside of the Tri-State area. This resource gives our singles a one-stop shop for attending events and venues that may appeal to them. Singles can also use this platform to connect with shadchans, whom they can message directly. The administrators of the group will be responsible for approving and accepting new members on the chat to secure the privacy of the group.


To Join the WhatsApp Group, Click Here

Singles can also private message us anytime:
