Custom |
 |
|
|
By
custom, all of the immediate relatives are part of the wedding party.
The bride and groom are escorted down the aisle by their parents. To
lead their children to the huppah is considered
a parent’s highest joy. Their fathers and mothers escort both bride and
groom. If there are grandparents, they are given a special place
in the procession. |
|
Huppah |
|
 Under
the huppah the bride stands at the side of the groom. Under
Orthodox custom, the bride may stands to the right of the groom and
circle the groom seven times (representing the seven wedding blessings)
before taking her place at his right. The number seven represents the
idea of the seven heavens, the seven wedding blessings and the seven
days of Creation. Symbolically, the bride is thought to be entering the
seven spheres of her beloved’s soul. The circle created by the bride is
regarded as the space the couple will now share, separate from parents.

Ring for the bride |
|
 Traditionally
the ring for the bride is a simple gold band without any engravings.
This type of ring is used because it shows the true value and purity of
the ring. At the ceremony the ring is placed on the bride's right index
finger because it is the finger that points at the words when reading
the Torah. Modern brides that follow this custom will sometimes switch
the ring to the left hand after the ceremony.

The Ketubbah |
Ceremony & Vows |
|
Next the ketubbah is read aloud. This is
followed by a reading of the seven wedding benedictions by various
guests. During this reading the bride and groom sip their wine. The
seven benedictions are as follows:
The seven Jewish wedding blessings praise God for:
- Creating the fruit of the vine: the blessing
over the wine, or kiddush
- Creating the earth and all that is in it
- Creating humanity
- Creating man and woman in God’s image
- The miracle of birth
- Bringing the bride and groom together to rejoice and live in harmony as did the first couple, Adam and Eve
- The joy of the bride and groom and the hope for a world that will one day be filled with the joy of lovers and the laughter of children
Wine & Veil
 The rabbi begins the ceremony by reading the
invocation. Then, the rabbi recites the betrothal benediction over a
glass of wine, a symbol of sanctification in which the praise to the one
God is voiced. The prayer is: We praise you, Adonai our God, Ruler of
the universe, Creator of the fruit of the vine. The bride and groom
sip the wine. During most wedding ceremonies, the groom lifts the
bride’s veil after he has tasted the wine. |
After
the introduction by the rabbi, the groom recites his wedding vow and
gives the ring to the bride. The wedding vow he recites in Hebrew is:
Thou art consecrated unto me with this ring as my wife, according to the
law of Moses and Israel.
- Blessed art Thou, O lord our God, King
of the Universe who hast created the fruit of the vine.
- Blessed art Thou, O lord our God, King
of the Universe who has created all things for His glory.
- Blessed art Thou, O lord our God, King
of the universe, creator of man.
- Blessed art Thou, O lord our God, King
of the Universe who hast made man in his image, after his likeness, and
hast prepared for him out of his very self, a perpetual fabric. Blessed
art Thou, O Lord, creator of man.
- May she who was barren be exceedingly
glad and rejoice when her children are united in her midst in joy.
Blessed art Thou, O Lord, who makes Zion joyful through her children.
- O Lord, make these beloved companions
greatly rejoice even as Thou didst rejoice at Thy creation in the
Garden of Eden as of old. Blessed art Thou, O Lord, who makest
bridegroom and bride to rejoice.
- Blessed art Thou, O lord our God, King
of the Universe, who has created joy and gladness, bridegroom and
bride, mirth and exultation, pleasure and delight, love, brotherhood,
peace and fellowship. Soon may there be heard in the cities of Judah
and in the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of joy and gladness, the
voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the jubilant voice
of the bridegrooms from the canopies, and of youths from their feasts
of song. Blessed art Thou, O Lord who makest the bridegroom to rejoice
with the bride.

Mazel Tov |

 When
the reading is done, the groom smashes a glass with his foot. The
breaking of the glass symbolizes the destruction of the Temple in
Jerusalem centuries ago.
|
|
When the wedding ceremony has ended, the guests wish the couple:
mazel tov, meaning
good luck.
Peace
(SHAL-OM)
Joy
(SIM-CHAH)
Love
(A-HA-VAH)
