Wedding planning is a joyful and gratifying experience, but it can also be a little hectic at times. We are here to make your wedding planning easier.
Here is a Jewish wedding checklist to help you remember the Jewish rituals and make your wedding ceremony even more beautiful.
- Ketubah
A couple must agree to a contract in order for their Jewish marriage to be binding, according to tradition and ancient Judaic law. A wedding contract is known as a ketubah. - Wedding Glass
A glass cup is traditionally broken at a Jewish wedding as an act of remembrance, a gesture that helps to illuminate the joy of your marriage.
The breaking of the glass is most commonly associated with the destruction of the Temple, though some believe it represents the end of the beloveds’ separate lives and the beginning of their lives as one.
- Kiddush
Refers to the Jewish ceremony and blessings performed prior to the consumption of grape wine. On Shabbat (the Jewish Sabbath), many Jewish holidays, and special occasions, Kiddush is recited. During the wedding ceremony, the couple drinks from a Kiddush cup. - Chuppah
A Jewish wedding ceremony is typically held beneath a beautiful chuppah, which is a large fabric canopy supported by four poles. The chuppah symbolizes the home that the bride and groom will construct as a family.
You can book Guy Goresh, one of the best live musicians who can bring soulfulness and spirituality to your event in a wonderfully personal yet fully professional manner.
- Kippot
Men who practice Orthodox Judaism wear a kippah, also known as a yarmulke or skullcap, during the day. - Tallit
During a Jewish wedding ceremony, the tallit (prayer shawl) is wrapped around the wedding couple to symbolize their unity.
The more at ease, you are with your decision, the happier you will be, which is ultimately what matters. We hope that this checklist will assist you in better planning your wedding day.
