WeisbergA Weisberg is a person, usually but not necessarily a Jewish-American female living in an urban environment, who is fond of making social introductions and who has a reputation for putting people together who might benefit from meeting each other. A Weisberg is distinct from a Yenta, in that Weisbergs generally do not make introductions merely to facilitate Jewish marriages. By contrast, a Weisberg may introduce two or more people for any reason. Weisbergs often travel between Jewish and non-Jewish worlds, and by definition know a great number of people and feel comfortable across varied social and economic circles. A Weisberg is generally unpaid for his or her work. Weisbergs are motivated only by the belief that their introductions may be of benefit to all parties involved. The term gained currency in Los Angeles in 2004, describing women active in the arts and music communities. The term appears to have originated with The Tipping Point, a 2000 book by Malcolm Gladwell.
