Featured in the San Francisco Chronicle Magazine on March 2, 2008
"The Jewish Connection deals with all sorts of people, from their 20s
to their 60s--including ... of businessmen and women, journalists, several
therapists, a hairdresser, a filmmaker, an Orthodox Jewish cab driver,
even a man who owns his own dating service ('You shouldn't date clients,'
owner Marsha Winer says. 'I don't--I feel like someone in a candy store
who's on a diet.')" SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER
" 'I remember praying to God to send me someone I could take care of
and who could take care of me,' says a satisfied client. 'Now I'm happily
married and have the most wonderful husband.' The client, a thirty-year-old
self-employed businesswoman, was introduced to her husband, a twenty-nine-year-old
electrical engineering manager, by Marsha Winer of San Francisco's THE
JEWISH CONNECTION. Still grateful for her matchmaker's steady
stream of 'girlfriendly advice' while she and her husband were dating,
the client sends Winer birthday and Hanukkah cards every year." COSMOPOLITAN
"When she hears that a relationship culminates in marriage, Winer places
a Mazel Tov (good luck) ad in local papers announcing the date met, the
date engaged and the date married. Does hiring a matchmaker work? Almost
a hundred* of Winer's clients have gotten married as a result. 'I just
love to go to their weddings,' Winer says with a wink." SOUTH BAY

"Marsha Winer, a former teacher and counselor, runs THE JEWISH
CONNECTION in San Francisco. 'It's very personalized. I don't
use any computers. The large majority of my clients are professional or
entrepreneur types,' she said. 'They're busy, unable or unwilling to hang
around bars hoping to meet someone right.' " SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
" 'On the second date I thought he was terrific,' Debby says, 'and
on the third date we were making plans to be together. If I had a checklist
of 10 things I was looking for in a man, Rob has about 15. And those extra
five things I thought I would never find.' " (Update: This couple
has been married since 1989.) SAN JOSE MERCURY NEWS
