Anyone familiar with the culture of the Druze minority in Israel knows that if there is a group that cares about marrying within the faith, it’s the Druze.

Unlike JDate, Druze Date does not yet have its own Wikipedia page, but there is a very informative page about the Druze themselves – their history, culture and secret religion.
