FAQ

Quick answers to the questions members ask most. If something isn’t covered, reach out through Support and we’ll get back to you.

Getting started

  • Who is Israelite Dating for?

    Adults (18+) who identify with the Hebrew Israelite faith, heritage, and way of life — and people sincerely seeking a partner from within the community. Whether you’re part of an assembly, learning on your own, single-and-walking-it-out, or starting over, you’re welcome here.
  • How do I create an account?

    Tap Create an account, confirm your email, then build out your profile — a clear photo, a few words about yourself, and what you’re looking for. The more honest the profile, the better the connections.
  • What does the home page show?

    The home page is the Discover directory — browse member profiles, send likes, and start conversations from one place. Signed-out visitors see a teaser with photos blurred; signed-in members see the full directory.

Browsing & connecting

  • How do likes and messaging work?

    From Discover or someone’s profile, tap the heart to send a like. You can also start a conversation directly — you don’t need a mutual like to message. Likes you receive show up in a “Liked you” row at the top of Discover.
  • How do filters work?

    Open the filters icon on Discover. You can search by name, bio, or location, and narrow by age, photo verification, and desired relationship style (Monogamy, Polygyny, or Open to all). Sort by recommended or newest. Your filters save automatically to your account.
  • What does “photo verified” mean?

    Members can take a quick selfie that we compare to their profile photo. When it matches, a small verified badge appears on their profile. You can also filter Discover to show verified members only. You can verify yourself any time from your profile.

Membership & access

  • Is the platform free to use?

    You can browse a teaser of the member directory and create your own profile for free. Full access — unlimited likes, opening and replying to messages, viewing the entire directory unblurred, and hosting meetups — is unlocked with a one-time Membership.
  • How does Membership work?

    It’s a single payment for lifetime access — no subscriptions, no auto-renewals. Checkout is handled securely by Gumroad. After paying, your access is linked to your account and unlocks immediately (or within a few seconds while we sync).
  • Can I get a refund?

    Refunds are handled per Gumroad’s buyer policy and applicable consumer law in your region. If something is wrong, reach out through Support and we’ll work with you to make it right.

Meetups

  • What are Meetups?

    Real-life gatherings members host for the community — Sabbath dinners, study circles, fellowship walks, casual mixers. You can RSVP to anything coming up, see who’s going, and build connections off-screen.
  • Who can host a meetup?

    Members with full access can create and host meetups. Anyone signed in can browse the calendar and RSVP to public meetups they’re interested in.
  • How do I stay safe at a meetup?

    Trust your instincts, meet in public when you can, and tell someone you trust where you’ll be. The Safety page has a simple checklist.

Profile & privacy

  • What can I put on my profile?

    Photos, a short bio, and structured fields like age, location, marital status, children, body type, lifestyle (drinking, smoking), willingness to relocate, and the relationship style you’re seeking. Share what feels true; skip what doesn’t.
  • Can I hide my profile or pause my account?

    You can edit your profile any time, remove photos, or update visibility from Settings. If you want to step away completely, you can also delete your account from the same place.
  • How do block and report work?

    From any member’s profile you can block them — they won’t appear in your feed and can’t see yours — or report a concern. Reports go to the moderation team. Manage everyone you’ve blocked under Settings → Blocked people.
  • Can I download or delete my data?

    Yes. Open Account and use Export my data to download a copy of what we have, or Delete account to permanently remove your record and uploaded photos.

Notifications & messages

  • How do I manage notifications?

    In-app alerts appear on the bell at the top of every page. Email notifications (new likes, new messages, meetup updates) can be tuned in Settings so you only get what you want.
  • What if someone is harassing me in messages?

    Block them from their profile or the chat header — they’ll no longer be able to reach you — and use Report if it warrants moderation. We take that seriously and review every report.
