“Social connections are far better predictors of long and happy lives than social class, IQ, or even genes.”

About Tribester

Our Mission

Tribester exists to help you build meaningful connections – friendships, romantic relationships, and professional connections – and to make you happier and healthier in the process.

Research consistently shows that social connections are the strongest predictor of happiness and well-being. The quality of our relationships impacts everything from our physical health to our mental resilience and longevity.

How We Bring People Together

We foster connection through three key approaches:

  • Curated Events – We host and promote notable Jewish events, experiences, and Jewish travel opportunities designed to create authentic connections with fellow participants. From local gatherings to international adventures, these experiences build community through shared moments.
  • Signature Celebrations – Our team produces our own unique Jewish events, including the famous Ball on Christmas Eve (the Nation’s Largest Jewish Singles Event), jewish speed dating in many cities, and other events and experiences throughout the year.
  • Digital Connection – We’re working to foster Jewish community and reimagine online dating and matchmaking for today’s world (stay tuned for exciting developments).

In short, we help you find your people – maybe even your bashert – and hope to improve your life through meaningful human connection.

Why It Matters

The Science of Connection

Strong social bonds are literally life-changing. According to extensive research:

A study examining 148 other research papers found that the influence of social relationships on mortality risk is comparable with well-established factors like smoking and alcohol consumption – and exceeds the impact of other risk factors such as physical inactivity and obesity.

The Modern Connection Crisis

Despite knowing the importance of social connection, we spend barely more than 30 minutes a day on in-person socializing while devoting three hours to television and only 4 minutes a day (24 hours a year) to attending social events.

Our mission at Tribester – and our sister brands – is to improve health and happiness through the power of human connection.

A Community Open to All

Our name is intended to be a playful spin on “Member of the Tribe” itself a “slightly tongue-in-cheek reference to Jews, usually by Jews” per Urban Dictionary.

To the extent the Tribester name evokes a sense of community or belonging, welcome aboard; our intent is not to exclude, but to connect!

While many of our events are geared toward Jewish angles, our broader mission is simply this: to help people meet.

Everyone looking for meaningful connections and community is welcome here.
