The Amish life style:

The Amish Lives in North America. their communities are located in 22 states in the United States and Canada. Amish community members are known as people who live a simple, traditional lifestyle and avoid using modern technology.

Simple life

Their life very simple and not including use of modern means like a electricity,tv or internet. Instead of using electricity, they use candles.

Most of them are farmers or ranchers who raise livestock and work the land, and that is their main livelihood.The men work the land and and the women work in the kitchen. their work hard  because there is no electricity.

The Amish children go to their own special schools from the age of 8 years to the age of 13 years, they study all ages together in the same classroom.

after that they stop studying and go on to pursue their parents’ way of being farmers.

they go to work on their parent’s farms.the most of what they needed to know ,they learn by doing, such as farming or cooking.

The Amish people are preventing the children from learning because they do not want the children in adulthood to leave religion to the modern world.

Amish has a special style of clothing, they wear old-fashioned clothes.The men wear black suits and black hats. And the women wear long dresses and a bonnet.Attire allows them to identify and discern the people who are like them, to easily connect with them and make it difficult for them to connect with others. The Amish feel that keeping the difference in clothing encourages humility and separation from the outside world.

Most are farmers or ranchers engaged in animal husbandry and land cultivation, which is the bulk of their livelihood.

The Religion:

There is no conference room. There is no special structure for God’s work. For religious ceremonies, the Hamish meets once every two weeks with one of the members in an orderly round. The whole community gathers together men and women. And sing together and pray

The initial foundation is the family. Everyone is very friendly. The problem was of deviating from community practices among one of the children or one of the parents, or when friction between two families. Those who have been declared a pervert by the Amish elders, or those who have not entered adulthood, may not have an orderly relationship with them and, in particular, are prohibited from participating in some basic social activities, such as eating or drinking together.  the amish must not  will be eaten in the presence of strangers. The food is a special religious ritual and only for members of the community. No food is served to guests .
