Rav Avner
Inspiration behind the 148.dating project
Over 30 years guiding the community
Rav Avner has been the Rav of the Breslov community of Netanya for more than thirty years. From the heart of Gordon Street, he welcomes men and women every day who come seeking counsel, light and direction for their lives. Listening, advising and accompanying people in their zivug: his door never closes. His shepherd's neshama has led him to carry the community far beyond the Beit Midrash, answering the spiritual and material needs of those who knock at his door. Rooted in the wisdom of Rabbi Nachman, he transmits a living, simple and deep Torah that connects every heart to the light of the Tzaddik.
Why 148.dating?
Overwhelmed by shidduch requests coming from all over the world, Rav Avner wanted to extend his method at scale, without giving up simplicity, listening to the heart and attachment to the Tzaddik. By joining 148.dating, you enter this vision: a project where Rabbi Nachman, as the chatran — the matchmaker between Hashem and His people — guides every meeting. An approach that builds homes on true, luminous and lasting foundations.
“Building homes on true foundations, through the light of the Tzaddik.”
