The Jewish Dating World

After her conversion, Esther began receiving invitations to speak at different synagogues. She is always happy to share her story.

At the same time, many well-meaning people began setting her up with Jewish men, but their attempts were not successful. Chinese converts don’t have an easy time in the Jewish dating scene.

Esther decided to approach dating just as she did everything else – directly and honestly. She posted her profile on a Jewish dating site and wrote, “I am a Chinese convert. If that bothers you, don’t waste your time.”

Esther’s future husband, Haim Tebeka, appreciated her directness. He contacted her, and the rest is history. They have now been married for over two decades and have three children.
