Lev Tov Match, a new online platform dedicated to creating connections between Jewish adults with autism, disabilities and additional needs, is launching in the UK next month.

The initiative is the brainchild of entrepreneur Martin Port, a campaigner on behalf of adults with disabilities, who has seen through his own children the distinct challenges of finding friendships and love as an adult with additional needs.

“For many adults with learning disabilities or autism, the opportunity to meet like-minded people, build friendships, and even find companionship can be incredibly limited,” said Port. “Too often, they are left out of traditional matchmaking or social opportunities. I wanted to change that.”

Lev Tov – which means “good heart” in Hebrew – acts like a “hybrid between a dating app and a matchmaker”, according to executive director Naomi Goldman, who explained that the initiative aimed to create a welcoming space, where individuals could form meaningful relationships and find belonging within their communities.
