Describe Jewish wedding ceremonies.

What will be an ideal response?


Judaism strongly encourages marriage and family life. Jewish marriage has engagement, rings, a vow or a document certifying marriage obligations, and a grand celebration. Ceremonies are often held outdoors or in hotels, not in the synagogue, as long as there is a rabbi to officiate and a canopy. But the Jewish ceremony has something unique. As the last part of the wedding, the groom crushes under his foot a glass wrapped in a cloth, a reminder in a time of great joy of the sorrow that came to Judaism when the Temple of Jerusalem was destroyed in 70 C.E.
