Becky Braun, a widow with four
daughters, said one of her girls met her
husband on Frumster.com , an
Orthodox Jewish dating Web site.
Now Braun is trying to get in the mar-
ket herself, but said she's having a diffi-
cult time because most of the men
have not measured up. "The divorced
people never stop hating their wives,
and the widowed people never stopped
loving their wives,' she said. "I've
found very few exceptions to that."
Many attendees voiced their frustra-
tions about searching for a soul mate,
strategized on how to get married and
commiserated with others in similar sit-
uations. "You should tell marrieds to
have a little more rachmanut for us," one
woman, using the Hebrew word for
mercy, told a "dating adviser" at a heavi-
ly attended session called "Still
Searching."
Another audience member, irritated at
being told how to make himself more
appealing to women, said, "We can only
package ourselves so much. How much
more do I have to change in order to
find someone?"
In the open-microphone session at
the close of the conference, the
speaker ended an answer to one
questioner by blessing him with a
wish for marriage.
"Amen!" a few audience members
shouted. I

Singles at the symposium appeared
intent on finding a mate. They filled out
shidduch (match) profiles for matchmak-
ers, scribbled furiously in their note-
books during workshops and mobbed
lecturers after their presentations to ask
personal questions.
While attendees mingled at the sym-
posium's luncheon, an exhibitor sold
such books as Talking Tachlis: A Single's
Strategy for Marriage, and In the
Beginning: How to Survive Your
Engagement and Build a Great Marriage..
Compact discs were on sale too,
including one titled Spousal Responsibility
2: Halachos and Hashkafos of the
Husband/Wife Relationship.
A 26-year-old Los Angeles native
who moved to the Upper West Side to
try to find a husband came to the con-
ference to network. "My mom would
always tell me, You have to go to
many places. You have to get yourself
out there,' " she said. '
"It's like you apply for a job. You have
to not just go to one place for an inter-
view. You have to put yourself out there
and show them what you have to offer."
At one workshop, the founder and
CEO of SawYouatSinai.com , a Jewish
matchmaking Web site, used a
PowerPoint presentation and complex
graphs to demonstrate how best to
search for a spouse and market oneself
as a potential mate.
