Jewish Couples Who Met At Temple Sholom – Jamie Gorson and Paul Michaels
Relationship Status: Dating
Met ON… Temple Sholom for Sushi Shabbat by Makom
How?! Paul’s friend Eddie Simon introduced us since he had met Jamie at a party a while back. For the full story from Jamie’s perspective: Sharon and Ilana, encouraged me to go to Sushi Shabat at Temple Sholom. While shmoozing I ran into Eddie who introduced me to his friend (who Shayna encouraged to come to the dinner). I talked with Paul that whole night (getting shushed throughout services), and went out with his friends and my roomie Amanda after dinner, but left without giving him my number. By the time I went to bed that night Paul found me on Facebook, had messaged me and we had plans for our first date for dinner two nights away.

Met At… Old Town Moishe House circa summer 2016
How?! Adam and Melanie went on a group trip to Madison, WI to support a mutual friend from the community as he completed his first Ironman race. The group rented an AirBnB for the night before. After dinner, Melanie and Adam started playing heads up, just the two of them! Adam was guessing and Melanie was giving clues, but would only do the children’s deck.
