A lot of Jewish people came from Europe, and are normally referred as Ashkenazi.

Most of us European Jews and not so spiritual and religious, but we still want

to be together among our own people. What does really defines us a s Jews ?( I

am, myself being a Russian Jewish female ); do we really follow the life style

as it is proclaimed in the Torah; or do we really follow all of the traditions

and laws? Do all of us really keep kosher, and celebrate the Sabbath every

Friday?

I have to say, that most of young Jewish people really do not ?match a typical

Jewish profile?; we consider ourselves as ?reformed?, and feel that our culture

is sort of altered; we are allowed to do certain things, and it is ok by

everyone. It is like a title to be Jewish person.

Of course there are a lot of religious people out there, who really have the

life style, you and I can't possibly lead; and those really dwell around their

own communities, date and marry within their environment.

However, for the most of us, even though we are looking for Jewish singles, we

do not want to be with anyone who is ?too? religious, or too conservative; that

means we can not do the things we like to do, like drink and party; and have

premarital sex?Right?

Most of us Jewish singles, do not even like each other so much; guys think that

all Jewish single girls are JAPs (Jewish American Princess); and the girls think

the guys are all ?mama's little shane punem?.Right? And, that there is no one

out there good enough for him? Sounds familiar? Hah?

Yet, somehow we all want to just date our own people, because it feels some of

what safe, and comfortable. Not because you think that Jewish girl or a guy will

not hurt you, or betray you, or disappoint you the same way the ?others? will

do.

It is because we feel like we share our history, and our culture, and we have to

be able to get along, understand and love each other, the way nobody can..

Unfortunately, we have to realize the opposite, that our people just as ?human?

and imperfect as everyone else.

Jewish Dating Service

just like every other online dating service, has it's advantages and

disadvantages; in one hand is it great because you feel like everyone is there

Jewish and they know exactly how you feel and what you are looking for; and in

the other hand you run in to a lot of Jewish singles, who are totally dishonest

about themselves, who are just playing around, and not really looking for their

match.

I personally found my Mr. Jewish Right online on one of the Online Jewish Dating

Sites, four years a go, and now we are married and have three year old child.

And we are really (I mean it) very happy! Marriage, of course is not easy, but

when you are with the right person, anything is possible, and you can make

things happen and be happy!

So, I do owe my destiny to the internet, and online dating'I do believe, that if

we, Jewish singles, have our own dating sites, we need to support the idea of

making it very special, trusting and meaningful.

Let's be honest with each other, let's communicate like adults (not like little

kids); let's not post pictures of someone else on to your profile, let's not lie

about our age, weight and size?. Let's not forget we are all special and chosen

people!

Coming from former Soviet republic, where Jewish religion and culture was

suppressed and practically hidden, I find it very refreshing to be able to be

open about your culture, to be able to celebrate your traditions, and to

identify with your heritage!
