The Amish way of life

Get to know the Amish lifestyle–

The Amish live in America and in recent years have begun to spread to Canada and the United States. Today there are more than 300,000 people.

The Amish originates in Switzerland and Germany. Following the discrimination they experienced,
they moved to North American countries.

They usually live in rural places with a variety of beautiful fields.

We will now get to know the Amish customs.

The women and girls wear modest dresses made of uniform greens and long sleeves, the dresses are covered with a cape and a devout apron. They dont cut their hair and dont wear jewelry.

One should also pay attention to the customs of the boys.

The men and boys wear dark-colored suits, straight-cut coats, wide pants, suspenders, solid-colored shirts, black socks and shoes, and wide-brimmed hats or straw.
They dont have a mustache but they grow a beard after their wedding.

The Amish do not use modern technology – instead of a car they use horses, they have no electrical appliance  or telephones or TVs and computers.

The Amish choose a simple way of life so that they can pay attention to the family for their aura and religion.

The children’s parents teach them the things that will help them later on such as carpentry, plots, cooking and sewing.
They go to their own special schools for about 8 years.
