Eliezer Sheffer, head of the World Zionist Organization’s young leadership department, says he has the solution to the problem of intermarriage — a worldwide computerized Jewish dating service. According to Sheffer, one of the cause of intermarriage is that many young diaspora Jews have little chance to meet socially with other Jews, especially in small communities. He said he got the idea for a computerized dating service at a meeting of young WZO leaders from Europe last month. He said they complained there was a dearth of Jewish marriage partners in small towns in Italy, France and Greece.
