Question

I've never been to a Jewish wedding before. What's it like?

Answer

A Jewish wedding is much like any wedding, with a few major differences. A Rabbi leads the ceremony under a canopy (huppah). Along with the bride and groom, their parents stand to the side under the huppah. Most of the ceremony is in English, with some traditional Hebrew blessings as well. At the conclusion of the ceremony, the groom breaks a glass under his foot, and the guests congratulate them immediately with a loud "Mazel Tov"! At the reception, the bride and groom will be raised on the dance floor in chairs during traditional Jewish melodies such as "Hava Nagila." All of the guests are invited to circle the newlyweds and dance together. In all, a Jewish wedding may have some differences, but the main theme is always celebratory!

Question

What's a Ketubah?

Answer

The Ketubah is a marriage certificate written in English and Hebrew. Often beautifully illustrated, it is signed by the bride and groom, along with their witnesses, prior to the wedding ceremony. Many couples choose to display this religious document at the reception, and it is often given a place of honor in their new home together.
