Although there many important dates among the Jewish community The sabbath is the one most people are familiar with.
The sabbath begins on Friday at nightfall and carries through to nightfall on Saturday, which means it lasts about 25 hours. God commanded the Jewish people to observe the Sabbath and keep it holy as the fourth of Ten commandments. The Sabbath is part of a deal between God and the Jewish people, so celebrating it is a reminder of the covenant and an occasion to rejoice in God’s kept promises. During the Sabbath people don’t think about work or other stressful things. The Sabbath is also very much a time when families come together in the presence of God in their own homes. However, should you be far from loved ones and alone, singles and others with no families around them may form a group to celebrate Shabbat together.

When dating you will find that the “Jewish geography” helps immensely with ice breakers, as your date will probably know at least two people in your life, that is just how it works.
Some dating rules that you will need to take into account are, rooted in the rule “ Yichud” which in Hebrew means, that dating should be done in a public place, the idea being that the two people are not alone in the room and that there is a chance that someone could walk in at any time unexpectedly, this is to prevent temptation of touch and too much intimacy before the big day, the wedding. Nevertheless, be assured that a more creative touch like picnics in park are allowed, as is going out for a coffee, as here also the same risk of being seen applies. Equally something that needs to be understood, is just like with any faith the fundamental rules are important and need to be adhered, here things are more about being kind, considerate, sensitive and treating others the same way you would like to be treated in return. When people treat each other with kindness and respect, their dating experience will be positive regardless of what the relationship comes to.
So, all you need you now is a “shadchan” matchmaker and that is where proximeety.co.uk comes in!

Yiddish is the traditional Eastern European Jewish language, it is close to German and curses like “ schmuck” come from it, because of the massacres carried out on Yiddish-speaking villages in WWII, it has a become a language of grandmothers and is dying out. Hebrew is the language of modern Judaism.
All three! Yes, it is a world religion with spiritual practices but for many Jews it is their cultural identity. Through out history Jews were citizens of the countries they lived in, and not allowed to partake in culture around them, so wherever a Jewish community lived or lives this crafts a Jewish ethnicity.
