The experience for single women in the frum community since 2021. ‍ ‍

Unite is changing

In the family-focused frum community, single women are on their own but no longer have to feel alone.

We cannot change the timing or the circumstances that Hashem has ordained for each woman, but with your support our community has the resources it needs to change the experience of the journey.

In Unite, I get to feel normal.

In a world where family is the focus and children are the priority, as a single girl living alone, I often wonder where I fit. I drive to work through my development every morning, watching mothers, many likely younger than me, usher their kids onto the bus. And every day, the same thought passes through my mind: When will that be my life? When will my life look like everyone else’s?

But then 7:30 pm comes.

  • And I walk into a space where I don’t feel behind or out of place. I feel seen. I feel part of something. A place where my hard work, my independence, and the quiet strength it takes not to be lonely actually matter.

    I get to sit around a dinner table with other women going through the exact same thing. Where conversations aren’t centered on husbands’ schedules or children’s schools, not because those things aren’t beautiful, but because sometimes I want to belong to a conversation without having to explain myself just to be relatable. A place where I’m not an outsider or an alien in my own life.

    In Unite, I get to laugh. I get to sing off-key and loud. I get to create art, share meals, and build friendships that turn into family. I get to be part of a connection that truly saves lives.

    I get to express myself and feel heard.
    And in a world where, Practically, I’m often so alone,
    I get to feel connected.

Unite isn’t a once-in-a-while experience. It’s a steady presence—woven into everyday life. Your support shapes how a woman experiences this stage of her life—and what she’s able to become within it.

On their own but not alone

  • “It’s hard to watch your child wait — I assumed I’d be pampering grandchildren by now, but shidduchim has been a journey. Unite has been a gift to both her and our family. There are places I can’t show up as her mother, not her peer, and Unite has given her new friendships and a true sense of belonging. Knowing she has that has been a great comfort to me.”

    Unite Mother

  • Before unite, I can’t tell you how many nights I spent panicking, lonely, and uncertain if I’ll ever feel okay. Thanks to unite, those days are rare. I finally have a place where I belong, and it’s changed everything.
