In biological terms, a community is a group of interacting species sharing an environment. In human communities, intent, belief, resources, preferences, needs, risks, and a number of other conditions may be present and common, affecting the identity of the participants and their degree of cohesiveness. In sociology, the concept of community has led to significant debate, and sociologists are yet to reach agreement on a definition of the term. There were ninety-four discrete definitions of the term by the mid-1950s. Traditionally a "community" has been defined as a group of interacting people living in a common location. The word is often used to refer to a group that is organized around common values and is attributed with social cohesion within a shared geographical location, generally in social units larger than a household. The word can also refer to the national community or global community. The word "community" is derived from the Old French communité which is derived from the Latin communitas (cum, "with/together" + munus, "gift"), a broad term for fellowship or organized society. Since the advent of the Internet, the concept of community no longer has geographical limitations, as people can now virtually gather in an online community and share common interests regardless of physical location.

Q. Marriages are arranged by shidduch in Hasidic communities. How does it work exactly? Is it all arranged by the families or by other people too? Will it matter that my parents don't live in the Hasidic community if I want to be part of it and marry in it? (my grandparents and other relatives live in it though). Is it true that you have to make a decision if you want to marry the person or not by the third or fourth meeting? Asked by Julia - Wed Jun 10 19:50:46 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. There is no dating in the Hasidic community. Education as well as all other Jewish cultural institutions are sexually separated. A typical Hasidic boy had never spoken to any Hasidic girl EVER, before the matching era begins. When the boy turns 19 and the girl turns 18, Shadchanim (match makers) step in. Shadchanim speculate about what family is suitable financially, aristocratically, and observantly to what family. If they feel a match is suitable they will call up both sides and "red a shiduch" (propose a match). The Shadchan (matchmaker) will try to conceal negative characteristics on both sides, while the sides will try to dig up as much dirt as possible to verify the "suitability" of the other side. If they both pass the investigative… [cont.] Answered by Shay p - Thu Jun 11 07:35:10 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Communities"
