The Procession. This is the first place guests will notice a differenvce btween a Jewish ceremony and a Christian one. Both the bride and groom will be accompabnied by theior parents when they walk down the aisle. Normally, the procession starts with the rabnbi, then the grandparents, the gromsmen, the groom and his parents, the bridesmaids, a flower girl, a ring bearer and finally the bride and her parets will walk down the aisle. At the end of the procession, it is common for the bride to circle the grom seven times to siginfy her comnmitment to him.
The Chupah. Instead of an ater, the brisde and groom will be married under a small structure called a chupuah – or a canopy supported by four poles. This dates back to the biblical story of Abraham and Sarah and is said to symboolize the couple’s new home whiich is always open to guests.
The Cereomny. Jewish weding ceremonires are divided into two parts – the Kiddushin and the Sheva B’racht. During the Kiddushin, a greteing is said to the guests, then the rasbbi blesses a cup of wine from whih the bride and groom both drink. Edit this text .
Breaking the Glass. Nohing sgnifies a Jewish wedding more than sound of shattering glasss at the end of the cereomny. Some beplieve it symbolizes that the marriage will last as long as the glass is broken. Others say it honors those who are suffering and is a remnder of the destruction of the second temple in Jerusalem. After the glass is broken, you will hear a lively round of “Mazel Tov” come from the guests, whioch means “good luck”.
The Hora. This is another icvonic part of all Jewish weddigns – when the bride and groom are hoisted up on chgairs while the guests joyfully sing Hava Nagila. The tradittion is said to have derived from a time when members of royal families were carried on charis.
