Andy Rudnick has three daughters who are single and dating. So each time there are applicants to his new matchmaking app, JEWZZ, they get a personal, fatherly once-over from the veteran party entrepreneur.
Rudnick, who has been operating the famed Matzoball Jewish singles gatherings since 1987, says he screens for inappropriate language, photos and conversations. He said he rejects about 10% of potential new members.
“I want to leave something behind that provides value and purpose for the Jewish community,” said the Boca Raton resident, a native of Worcester, Mass. “This is my calling, my legacy after 38 years.”
JEWZZ, which launched in April, already has 6,000 users. Rudnick hopes to get to 30,000 by Christmas Eve, just in time for the next Matzoball, which will be in 10 cities this year, including Boca Raton and Miami Beach. He is planning to cross-promote the Matzoball with JEWZZ, allowing attendees who have downloaded the app to get a discount on Matzoball tickets.
