Jewish weddings are not a time to be shy! There are lots of fun traditions and LOTS of dancing! The Chair Lifting: One of the party highlights is when the guests hoist the bride and groom up on chairs (sometimes with a napkin stretched between them). it may seem like you’re not the closest with the bride and groom and it’ll be awkward if you jump in and grab a chair leg — but we’re telling you those chairs are heavy and it’s all in your head and so if you can, just jump in there and help. This is also no time for sexism — women can help too. Sometimes women lift the bride and men lift the groom. Finally, don’t forget that the parents of the bride and groom should also get a ride. The Hora And Other Circle Dances: No one cares if you know the steps. Have a drink or two if that helps! Just get on the dance floor and have some fun. Be generous with your Jewish circle dancing — it’s a mitzvah for the bride and groom.
