Lifestyle

The lifestyle of the Amish people is very strang .

The Amish call themselves the “simple people”  that is, the people closest to the earth. In their lives there is a connection to farming and agricultural frameworks and most of them are farmers or ranchers, who are engaged in raising animals and working the land and this is the main source of their livelihood.

All the adults get up at about 4 in the morning usually the men do the work in the village and there are women who go to prepare and sell food in the town. Amish people are modest and avoid modern technology

The Amish travel in carriages whit horses, do not engage in violence, place the family and community at the center of their lives and make sure to disengage almost completely from the modern world.

education

The Amish did not have their own schools, they joined the rural schools. They had to open their own schools so that they would not be educated by “normal” children because they wanted them to continue in their way of life.
Children need from the moment they are independent to work in the filed.

The method is that everyone will study together until the age of 12/13 and after that they have a special exemption from studies, and they are moved to study at home by their parents One of the interesting things about the customs of the Amish is the rite of passage of the young people to the adult world and the way in which they choose to continue or leave Amish. their parens training tham .

religion

As for their religion, there is no synagogue.
To do a ceremony or celebrate something you meet and they prayer at someone’s barn.

They all gather together men, women, and children.

The holy book of the Amish is the Bible.

And in addition to the Bible they also have laws of their own.

Why do they choose this way of life

They chose this way of life, because they listen to the laws of their bible and chose to go the simple way of life,

without all these electrical appliances and think it is the right way to live.

They do not address what is happening in the outside world

and the opinions of others.

And focus on their own lives and are very closed people

They chose this path because it is what they believe, “simply” live in their villages with their society and without the rest of the world.

  clothing

Their clothes are more like the style of the past, modest and long clothes all similar to each other and not much variety of colors and cuts. They also do not want it to be like in the outside world because they are something “different”. They also make the clothes for themselves. They do not wear buttons or put on their clothes because they do not believe it. And they mostly dress this way because they want separation from the outside world.

An external sign that the Amish people have is their mustache that came because it was accepted by the military men in Europe.

Amish girls work in the kitchen from a young age, so they have special clothes for that too.
