A Jewish wedding is like a tapestry woven from many threads: biblical, historical, mystical, and legal. Threads that form the chain of Jewish continuity stretching back more than 3,800 years. This is a brief overview of the components of a wedding.<\/p>\n
First, there is a reception for the groom and another for the bride. Traditionally, they don't see each other for at least a week before the wedding. After the reception, the groom covers the bride's face with a veil, emphasizing that he is not only interested in her outward appearance but also in her inner beauty, which she will never lose.<\/p>\n
The chuppah creates a kind of invisible room where only the bride and groom are present. The officiating rabbi recites a blessing, and the groom places the ring on the bride's finger, saying, "With this ring, you are consecrated to me according to the law of Moses and Israel.".<\/p>\n
Then the Ketubah, the marriage contract, is read, which details the main obligations of the husband towards his wife.<\/p>\n
In the final step, seven more blessings are recited, and at the end, the groom breaks a glass, reminding everyone that the joy is not complete until the Temple is rebuilt.<\/p>\n
The bride and groom retire to a closed room, where they spend a few minutes alone.<\/p>\n
Then the feast takes place, in which it is a Mitzvah to make the bride and groom happy, and at the end of the festive meal, the blessing after the meals is recited, and again, the seven blessings.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Jewish wedding is like a tapestry woven from many threads: biblical, historical, mystical, and legal.
