Jewish Marriage & Halacha

Customs & Traditions
Jewish wedding customs include the ketubah signing, symbolizing marital responsibilities, and the bedeken, where the groom veils the bride.
Under the chuppah, representing their future home, seven blessings are recited. The groom breaks a glass to remember the Temple’s destruction, followed by joyous dancing and feasting.
