Question
Why is a glass broken at the end of the ceremony?
Answer
The breaking of the glass is a tradition symbolizing the fragility of life and marriage, signifying the need to cherish and protect a relationship through both happy and difficult times. It is also broken to symbolize the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem, serving as a reminder that even on joyous occasions, one should remember moments of sadness and hardship in Jewish history. It also marks the joyous conclusion of the ceremony, often followed by a cheer of "Mazel Tov!"
