Are you a Jewish single tired of the dating apps? You are not alone!

"When you speak to Annette you are speaking to a PURE DESIRE TO ASSIST. Her soul is constantly striving to help the world be a better place, to help every Jew with what they need, and most particularly, to help every Jewish single find their other half, so they can be complete. Annette uses her creativity to come up with the most engaging and interactive means of bringing people together and has thus produced Candles and Conversations, a remarkable new take on the dreaded "singles event." Annette does something that most events are too busy to consider, making the event itself actually meaningful. She ensures you will walk away not just meeting someone new, but gaining a new perspective on life!

Lots of blessings in your quest to unite us all!"

“I’ve attended several Candles and Conversations events (for singles in their 20s/30s) and each one has been such a welcoming, uplifting experience. Annette really has a gift for creating an atmosphere that feels both comfortable and engaging from the moment you walk in. There’s always good food, good music, and good vibes. The group conversation prompts give people the opportunity to peak past the small-talk of typical mingling conversations, and to connect with each other on a deeper level. We get to have real, meaningful discussions about Judaism, family, community, and core life memories - with people you met only minutes ago - and without the pressure of striking up the conversation. The intention and care Annette puts into every detail is really special, from the decorations, to the guest list, to her hosting and organization of the evening’s program. I’ve left each event not only meeting fun, new and interesting people, but also feeling a real sense of community. Thank you Annette!  For the genuinely great time, and for saving me (what likely would have been) a miserable amount of time on the apps."

"I had the opportunity to attend one of her events for Jewish singles aged late 40's to early 60's. I was pleasantly surprised with the turnout, and Annette and her wonderful daughter were very gracious hosts. It was also nice to see that Annette really wants Jewish people to get together, especially those single like myself, to try and forge ultimately a relationship with someone special. 

After some icebreakers of introducing each other at the event, Annette had some thought provoking questions to have those guests wishing to respond to, and give feedback on various issues important to the Jewish community! The ambience of the place was very warm and hospitable!

There was some sumptuous food that was served, and drinks as well for a reasonable fee! If you see one of Annette's future events coming up with Candles and Conversations, consider giving it a try, since, who knows, you may even meet someone special! 

Thanks Annette."

"I recently attended my very first Candles and Conversations Event. This one was for Jewish singles, who were in their 40’s and 50’s. 

The organizer and founder, Annette, made me feel comfortable from the moment that I entered the event space. I was the first participant to arrive, and Annette calmed my nerves and made me feel like she knew me for a very long time. I could tell that Annette put hours into setting up the event space. The tables were decorated with beautiful candles as centrepieces and other decorations, which Annette made herself, including the place cards. Music was playing and dinner and drinks were served. 

The program was very organized and interesting. The participants began by introducing themselves to the group, and then we had some very thought-provoking conversations on a variety of topics which were relevant to Judaism, Jewish current events and Jewish culture.  Annette was very interested in any connections which were formed during the evening, and she herself will act as a “go between” to ensure that those individuals, who did form a connection, will have the opportunity to explore that connection post-event. 

I really enjoyed the evening, and I would not hesitate to attend another Candles and Conversations event in the future. 

Thank you very much, Annette!"
