Jewish wedding
.
It was common in the past for being Jewish marriages arranged by parents, with the help of a matchmaker, known as Yenta, and in some Orthodox communities the practice is still carried out. Although the EU has held, the groom has to ask the father of the bride-to-be his daughter's hand in marriage.
A marriage is a cornerstone of the cycle of Jewish life and, like all religions, is a major cause for celebration. Although there are many laws and traditions associated with the wedding, there are other rituals that take place in the weeks before the big day.
These rituals begin as soon as some incurred during a ceremony known as tena'im. He implies the rupture of a plaque as a symbol of the destruction of the Temple of Jerusalem, as a reminder that even in the midst of the feast of the Jews still feel sadness for their loss. This theme is repeated during the ceremony itself with the breaking of glass.
A Jewish wedding is any day of the week, apart from the Sabbath, ie from sunset Friday to sunset Saturday, or on major holidays beans, as the Day of Atonement or Jewish New Year (when Jews are required to abstain from work). Sunday is a popular day for Jewish weddings, to be held in the UK. In countries like the United States, where marriages are Popular at night is also common for weddings to be held on Saturday evening after the Sabbath (which is more popular in winter, when ends in early Saturday Some couples choose to celebrate their wedding in a week and is fairly common with those who are ultra-Orthodox.
A Jewish wedding can take place any time of year, but many couples avoid the period the festivals of Pesach (Passover) and Shavuot is a time of reflection on the calendar. Furthermore, since many people refrain from attending to lots of music and dance during this period, is not considered a good time to organize a wedding.
The Jews are still married under a canopy known as a special jacket that symbolizes house couple shares. The ceremony is used outdoors but is now more common for the ceremony indoors to avoid problems over time. Often, the ceremony takes place in a synagogue, but no rule saying that we have in a synagogue – as long as the chupa is present and the ceremony is under the supervision of a rabbi can happen anywhere these days, like the marriages of other religions, is increasingly common to hold Jewish weddings in hotels and elsewhere.
There is no real traditional dress for a Jewish wedding and men usually wear a black tie or morning dress while women often wear a dress traditional wedding. There is no specific traditional dress for a Jewish wedding. An Orthodox bride wore a dress more modestly.
It is traditional for the bride and groom to fast on the day of the wedding itself as a symbolic statement. As fast on Yom Kippur – Day of Atonement – to purify their sins and go so fast the day of his wedding to purify the sins and come to your marriage with a clean slate.
The ceremony is to be under the supervision of a rabbi – because they are familiar with all laws and customs of marriage, not necessarily to be conducted by a rabbi, as it is present. Most couples choose to have Rabbi conduct the ceremony, although you can do for a friend or family member, provided that they permit a rabbi.
The ceremony itself begins with the signing of the Ketubah – Jewish marriage contract defines the legal conditions of marriage. The origins of the Ketubah back to the days of the Sanhedrin (Jewish Supreme Court) in Jerusalem a few thousand years earlier, to protect the bride by the terms of her dowry.
The signing is done in the presence of four witnesses and Rabbi before the main ceremony. During the signing of the Ketubah, many men signed an agreement saying they will not oppose a Get (Jewish divorce) in the separation torque. This is important for a Jewish woman whose husband refuses to give a Get will be unable to divorce.
This is accompanied by a ceremony known Bedecked (veil), in which the groom places the veil over the face of the bride. This symbolizes the husband's intention to clothe and protect his wife and goes back to biblical times, when Rebecca covered her face before she married the son of Abraham, Isaac.
There is no rule that music can and can not be played during the ceremony, though many couples are uncomfortable playing the music of Wagner (as The Wedding March) due to their views anti-Semitic and popularity with the party of Nazi Germany 1930 in 1940. Most couples opt for traditional Jewish music to be played at the entrance of the bride and after the service – is the proportion centuries old.
There is also no firm rule on which escort the bride to the Chupa, but traditionally the bride's father, accompanying sound (sometimes both parents). The bride is the last person to enter, and after reaching the Chupa is the turn of married anymore – and this number varies. Some brides walk by their husbands to be more orthodox once married about seven times.
We are no rules about what music can and can not be played during the ceremony, although many couples feel uncomfortable playing Wagner's music (like The Wedding of Mars) because their views anti-Semitic and popularity with the part of Nazi Germany in the 1930s and 1940. The Most couples opt for traditional Jewish music was played at the entrance of the bride and after the service – this goes back several centuries.
Although there is no rule about to escort the bride to the Chupa, which is traditionally the bride's father accompanying sound (sometimes both parents do). The bride is the latest person in, and after reaching the Chupa is the turn of the husband on several occasions. Some brides walk by their husbands to be once more in all Orthodox married seven times.
During the service, the bride and groom drink the first of seven glasses of wine, and many prayers are said to be joining the couple together. One of the most important is the delivery of the ring. The ring itself must belong to the husband. It should not be rendered. and should be a complete circle without a break, to emphasize the hope for a harmonious marriage. This should be a single band and without stones or decoration. As with other religions, the ring is held by the best man for it is time that the groom give the bride. When the groom gives the ring to the bride, recited the following verse:
Here are consecrated to me with this ring according to the laws of Moses and Israel.
The ceremony ends with the groom breaking a glass, which is also linked to the memory of the destruction of the Temple. Once the glass breaks, everyone is going to give his congratulations the couple.
