Lisa Elefant

A passionate leader and creative thinker, Lisa Elefant is the heart and soul behind Adopt A Shadchan. She turned AAS from a fledgling organization in one community, to a worldwide movement that innovates several new, successful programs yearly.

Lisa/Mrs. Elefant made her first shidduch 18 years ago and has not allowed anything (including Covid!) to stop her from creating Jewish homes around the world. After working in a Flatbush office for 30 years, Mrs. Elefant decided to focus all her energies on creating a worldwide network and platform for the singles and shadchanim in our communities.
‍
She’s famous for inspiring shadchanim, networking around the world, founding dozens of incredible events and AAS initiatives, and most importantly – advocating intensely for singles, and making them feel supported, valued, and heard.

Fun, authentic, and with an uncanny ability to connect and spread warmth, Mrs. Elefant loves seeing what makes people tick and bringing out the latent strengths in those around her. With her wide variety of initiatives that appeal to every spectrum of society, Mrs. Elefant is passionate about teaming up together to accomplish more – without limits.
