Jews have many elements that are different from an average American. From their religion to the food they eat. Exploring their culture and way of life has helped many people to better understand them.
             The Jewish family life is very different than a Christian family life. People often wonder is Jewish people can remain childless. They cannot remain childless it is not part of the Jewish culture. The main reason they cannot remain childless is because it says in the Torah "Be fruitful and multiply." Jews are expected to look upon marriage as a step toward procreation. Another question that is commonly asked is what is the wife's role in the family? Does she just sit at home and be the housewife or can she work. In some parts in Israel they r suppose to stay home and be the housewife but in America they have a little different culture and they are allowed to work. But, the wife does have some roles in the house she is the one who teaches the children about the Jewish religion and makes them understand. The husband also has a job in that, he is there to set the role and let the children follow in his footsteps. Another lifestyle that Jews have is that they are not supposed to wear clothes of the opposite sex. Women are not allowed to wear slacks or any pants. The reason for this is because it is told not to in the Torah. If the do such a thing they would be forbidden for life. That's how some Jewish people live
             Jews have many different holidays. The most herd of holiday is Hanukkah which takes place around the same time as Christmas. During the Hanukkah holiday they use as menorah to put candles on. The menorah holds nine candles and 1 candle are lit for each of the nine days of Hanukkah. The reason for this is because a long time ago they Jews only had enough wax to last them for one day but surprisingly the wax lasted them for nine days and nine nights which brought up Hanukkah. Another holiday is Yam Kippur...
