Writing about something Jewish has become more and more popular amongst Jews and other religious denominations who are curious about this Religion.
Jewish Orthodox Blogs allows the reader the opportunity to learn something new or expand upon an existing knowledge base. The subjects are vast as there is just so much to learn from this way of life and putting it down in writing is what is called for to address each and every subject with the concentration it deserves.
There are many reasons as to why blogs such as these are popular and one of these is in the case of intermarriage, where one spouse is not Jewish but would like to know more. There are many different facets to Judaism and many practices that are strange to the world outside of this Religion. Non Jews are interested as to its practices as because there are so few Jews relatively speaking in the world, its not always possible to tap information from one in person.
Be this as it may, it would be a good start to learn about the courtship practices. This is well controlled amongst religious families and a shatgan or matchmaker is called upon to officiate when an individual would like to court someone with the knowledge of getting married. Orthodox Jews do not date as others do but will only go out with someone with the view to get married in the shortest possible time.
A shatgan or matchmaker is someone who provides this service of getting two people together and is paid a fee for his or her services. In years gone by, sometimes this person would be the Father and Mother of child who would arrange a marriage with another. Today, one has more choice as one is presented with a whole lot of eligible people who are looking to get married and start a family.
The whole process of meeting a potential life partner takes up to a week where couples just know intuitively that this is the person they want to spend the rest of their lives with. If there is no connection, the arrangement is immediately severed and no friendships are allowed to be pursued as this as said is regarded as immodest behaviour. Furthermore, one must expect to pay a fee to the Shatgan for services provided.
It is a quick process. One usually finds one soul mate pretty quickly. If not the Shatgan is there to discuss other possibilities.
Blogging on material such as this is fun especially should one get regular readers. There is much to be learnt about this subject. There is so much to be written about and shared with readers wanting to know more.
It is a beautiful Religion that offers its practitioners a rewarding way of life. It preaches love and patience for fellow human beings. It is a great path of learning and self discovery.
