History

Between 2001 and 2012 the site was called Frumster, a play on the term Frum and a joke by Rob Schneider.[1]

In October 2012, Frumster.com changed its name to JWed.com. JWed launched in 2007 as a white-label site, sharing profile listings with Frumster.com until the name was completely changed 2012.[2]

The site attracted criticism in 2004 for refusing profiles from people describing themselves as Conservative Jews.[3]

In 2021 the site expanded operations by acquiring SuperTova.com.[4]

Membership and marriages

In December 2005 the site said it had 20,000+ members and had facilitated over 500 known marriages.[5] JWed CEO Derek Saker says that of June 2025, the site has over 80,000 members and has facilitated over 4,000 known marriages.[6]

The site is open to all marriage-minded Jewish singles be they Orthodox observant or halachically Jewish singles.[citation needed]
