1, with regards to the shidduch process as much as the ideal is for the match to be arranged, are matches ever made either by families suggesting one`s child would be suitable for the other, or as much as they don't date as such two people becoming close friends who see each other periodically through things like dinner parties, sabbath dinners or even for example a boy visiting someones house to see his friend and without flirting getting to know the girls in that house. forgive the ignorance but unless conversation is kept to a minimum and with the exception of the real super strict orthodox, there are bound to be times when for example at a dinner party a boy gets talking to a girl from the other persons family, and it would surely be rudeness ( in my eyes anyway) to just say hello to the girl and leave it like that.
in this question i am referring to the way that what i shall call moderate strict orthodox judaism run the shidduch process as a pose to the super strict orthodox judaism ie mea shearim type jews
2, with the sabbath am i correct in saying that as much as non jews are welcome to participate and observe regardless of what they do they will not be classed as observing the sabbath.
3, my final question is if someone jewish is going out will they sometimes take some kosher snacks out with them or wait until they get back home. also when observing the sabbath is it difficult every week to get into sabbath mode ie no carrying money work or touching switches or are you usually ready to observe shabbat before it has arrived as all the work has been done pockets emptied etc
4, also what are the main differences between strict orthodox jews and normal orthodox judaism bar dress and the fact that they are much more traditional with how a jewish life should be lived
