ShowMeThe1.com, Jewish dating for serious Jewish singles looking for marriage
For Jewish singles, the search for the right person is tough enough. Given a world population of roughly 6.7 billion there are only 18 million Jews worldwide. That means that less than 3 out of every 1000 people in the world are Jewish.
The popular question among Jewish singles today is “Are all Jews the same?” The short answer is YES. Nevertheless, there are two primary types of Jews, Sephardic and Ashkenazi.
The two “labels” are based on where Jews come from.
Ashkenazi Jews come from European countries that are predominantly Christian while Sephardic Jews come from countries in the Iberian Peninsula as well as African and Middle Eastern (Muslim) countries. Throughout the centuries of exile the Ashkenazim and Sephardim developed many differing customs. Today, statistically 80% of all Jews worldwide are Ashkenazi.
Although the basics are all the same, there are many subtle differences that Jewish singles should consider. ShowMeThe1.com, the first Jewish dating community to provide Jewish singles with Customizable Compatibility Testing™ technology, has completed extensive research regarding this popular topic. As an online dating site for Jewish singles focused on finding serious relationships and marriage, ShowMeThe1.com, recently compiled a short list of “dating differences”
