Featured Article: Rumspringa

Two Amish girls in traditional attire

Rumspringa, translates from German dialects into English as "jumping or running around." It is a rite of passage during adolescence, used in some Amish communities. The Amish, a sub-sect of the Anabaptist Christian movement, intentionally segregate themselves from other communities as a part of their faith. The rumspringa experience allows teenagers to spend some time to experience life outside their community. It is also a time during which courtship occurs, often leading to the decision to marry. For Amish youth, the Rumspringa normally begins at age 16 and ends when a youth chooses either to be baptized in the Amish church or to leave the community.

-text=A '''bagel''' ([[Yiddish language|Yiddish]] {{lang|yi-Hebr|בײגל}}) ''beygl'') sometimes '''beigel''', is a [[bread]] product traditionally made of [[yeast]]ed [[wheat]] [[dough]] in the form of a roughly hand-sized ring which is first boiled in water and then baked. The result is a dense, chewy, doughy interior with a browned and sometimes crisp exterior. Bagels are often topped with seeds baked onto the outer crust with the most traditional being [[poppy]] or [[sesame]] seeds.

-Bagels are similar in shape to [[doughnut]]s and texture to [[bialy]]s. Russian ''[[bubliks]]'' are very similar to bagels, but are somewhat bigger, have a wider hole, and are drier and chewier. [[Pretzel]]s, especially the large soft ones, are also very much like bagels, the main exceptions being the shape and the alkaline water bath that makes the surface dark and glossy.
-The bagel has been regarded as a [[Jew]]ish specialty, in part because its method of preparation made it popular among Jews as a convenient form of bread that could be baked without breaking the rule of no work on the [[Sabbath]]. Today the bagel is commonly eaten at [[breakfast]], or as a snack or light lunch, often topped with [[cream cheese]] or [[Smoking (cooking)|smoked]] [[salmon]] (lox), giving rein to human [[creativity]] as new types of bagels and new toppings continue to appear. Still it retains its historical significance, representing Jewish [[Eastern Europe]]an culture to many, while for others it is seen as quintessentially a product of [[New York City]] or simply the [[United States]].}}
