HebrewLove

Premium Hebrew-first dating app for the global Jewish-Israeli community. Fully right-to-left with gender-aware Hebrew copy.

HebrewLove, mobile app project by Isaac Benyakar

What it is

A premium dating app for the global Jewish-Israeli community. The product is fully right-to-left, and every line of Hebrew copy adapts to the user's profile gender. Onboarding is guided: a 3-photo minimum, required prompts, and identity attributes. Every profile passes human review before it goes live, with a 24 hour pending gate on likes and messages. Matching, chat, push notifications, a subscription paywall, an education carousel with a community charter, and in-app account deletion complete the product.

The build

Why, and how.

The problem

Dating apps treat Hebrew as an afterthought. Left-to-right layouts break, translated copy ignores gender, and trust models rarely fit a community that expects vetted profiles.

What I built

Built the product Hebrew-first. The entire app runs right-to-left, copy adapts to the user's gender, and every profile is reviewed by a human before it can like or message, with a 24 hour pending gate. Guided onboarding raises profile quality before approval ever happens.

How it was built

  • Forced global right-to-left layout with custom text components
  • Gendered Hebrew localization keyed to the user's real profile gender
  • Guided onboarding: per-country phone validation, city typeahead, photo guidance
  • Trust and safety: human approve and reject flow, block and report, date-safety notifications

What came of it

  • 16-epic client spec delivered in full
  • Fully RTL product with gender-aware Hebrew copy throughout
  • Human approval trust model with a 24 hour pending gate
  • OTA release pipeline shipping straight to production
