Jewish Wedding 101

🎉 Your Mazal Manual – A Fun & Easy Guide! 🎉 Jewish weddings are full of love, laughter, and awesome traditions—some of which might be new to you! We can’t wait to celebrate with you! Just bring your energy, love, and maybe do a little pre-wedding stretching (trust us, the Hora is a workout). 🎉 Love, Jake & Kelly

🕎 1. Kippah? Yarmulke? What’s That?

At the ceremony, all guys are invited to wear a kippah (aka yarmulke), a small cap worn as a sign of respect. Think of it as part of the wedding spirit—no need to bring one, we’ve got plenty! Just pop it on and enjoy. What’s a kippah? See Jake rockin’ one above

💥 2. Breaking the Glass – Smashing Tradition!

At the end of the ceremony, Jake will step on a glass and shatter it—on purpose, we promise! As soon as you hear the crunch, it's your cue to yell “Mazal Tov!” (which means “Congrats!”). This tradition reminds us to cherish joy, even in life’s imperfect moments. 📺 Watch a glass get stomped (by someone else, but same idea!)

🕺💃 3. The Hora – The Ultimate Wedding Kickoff!

Time to dance! The Hora is not optional—it’s a full-squad, circle-dancing, chair-lifting, sweaty and unforgettable experience. We’ll all join hands, dance in circles, and at some point, Jake & Kelly will be hoisted in chairs (yes, safely… we think). PLEASE JOIN IN! It’s easy, fun, and requires zero dance skills—just enthusiasm! 📺 Get your Hora moves ready! Here's an example:

For all the days along the way
