| | Scopus: Bringing People Together |
 | | When she made aliya at the end of 1998, she quickly set up Scopus, the Jerusalem-based matchmaking program "open to persons 20-45 on all points of the Jewish observance spectrum." The rest, as the saying goes, is history. |
 | | The Scopus clientele base is relatively small - currently some 400 participants - but it allows Hakimian to take a more personal role with her clients, who hail from all walks of Jewish life, religious and secular, Diaspora and Israeli. |
