Community and Family
All in the Family
For the Amish, family is everything. They live in close-knit communities where everyone knows everyone, and privacy is about as common as Wi-Fi. Think of it as one big, extended family reunion that never ends. Sounds fun, right? Their strong emphasis on family and community support ensures that everyone is taken care of and no one is left behind.
Helping Hands
When someone in the Amish community needs help, everyone pitches in. Barn raising is a perfect example—where else can you get a new barn built in a day by your neighbors? It’s like extreme home makeover, Amish edition. This sense of communal responsibility and mutual aid is a cornerstone of their culture, fostering a spirit of cooperation and interdependence.
