What is Jewish family life like?

Answer 1

awesome

Answer 2

Of course there are many kinds of Jews and lifestyles and they can't all be described in a short article.
The typical religious Jew - probably the majority of them - tends to be a white-collar worker who, in addition to a regular job, attends synagogue services morning and evening each day. Many also attend a daily "Daf Yomi" class in which one page of the Talmud is taught each day.
Religious Jews tend to get married relatively young (early twenties) and have large families (six to ten children is commonplace); and family life is paramount in importance.
The parents are deeply involved in the education of their children. They foot the bill for private-school for the children because of the importance of a Jewish education.
Daily life in the home is replete with mitzvah-observances. Blessings are said over all foods and drinks; Torah-festivals and Sabbath are observed in the home, and the children are taught portions from the Torah on a daily or weekly basis.
Though conversation is typically in English, it is seasoned with hundreds of Hebrew and Yiddish expressions, many of them expressing religious concepts.
The kosher diet is adhered to. Clothing will be more or less Western (modern) in appearance (depending on the particular Jewish community), but it is always modest in style.
Religious Jewish women have a tightly-knit community of their own; each woman has a close circle of friends who constantly share and help each other. Many women attend weekly classes in various subjects of Torah or outlook.

Answer 2

The typical Israeli tends to be a white-collar or blue-collar worker, with a family. The large majority own a computer and a cell phone.

92% of Israelis live in cities or towns, with most living in apartments. In 2010, Israel was rated as having the 15th-highest quality of life in the world by the United Nations HDI index.

Education is treated as important, as is the national health-care system.

Most people take an interest in local and national politics; and a high number of Israelis have a college degree.

Most Israelis keep kosher to some degree. Weddings and funerals are at least nominally religious. Sabbath and festivals are celebrated publicly, not just in the home.

Religious Israelis also attend synagogue services morning and evening each day. Many also attend a daily "Daf Yomi" class in which one page of the Talmud is taught each day.
