The "How Does a Matchmaker Work?" Edition

Danielle Selber is there for Jewish singles who’ve struck out online or just don’t have enough time to get themselves into the dating pool. She’s a matchmaker with Tribe 12, a Jewish nonprofit in Philadelphia. Host Aisha Harris met up with Selber in coffee shop to talk about that work, its strong history in the Jewish community, and what it takes to find the perfect match in the digital age. In a Slate Plus extra, get advice from Selber on what makes a great first date. (A hint: Dinner’s no good, and drinks probably aren’t either.)
