The Ohr Yosef Shidduch Network is an initiative of Nshei Kollel Ohr Yosef, led by a committee of women with experience in shidduchim, working to make sure all singles are seen. We maintain a private registry on their behalf, and offer resources, Torah guidance, and support for parents navigating this process for the first time.

“It is not good for man to be alone; I will make a fitting partner for him.”
— בראשית ב:י״ח
The Ohr Yosef Shidduch Network was born from a simple idea: every single deserves the opportunity to be known, included, and supported in their shidduch journe.
It also grew from a common experience among parents in our community — not always knowing the nuances of how to navigate this process, from proper etiquette to the privacy involved, and not always knowing where to turn.
After recognizing this need within the Thornhill community, the Network provides practical resources, Torah guidance, and a community registry for all singles — helping support families, assist shadchanim, and create more opportunities for meaningful connections.
