Why the Amish Are Laughing All the Way to the Bank
Freedom to Wander
Teen rebellion gets a new twist in the Amish community with Rumspringa, a time when teens get to explore the “English life” beyond their usual way of living. Translating to “running around,” Rumspringa offers Amish teens a chance to see what’s out there.
From trying on jeans to maybe even watching TV or driving a car, it’s a taste of mainstream life designed to help them make an informed choice. It’s a kind of built-in fairness—how can they commit to Amish values if they haven’t seen what the world offers? This tradition speaks to the Amish way of giving their youth the freedom to choose with open eyes.
