Workshop Series for Engaged Jewish Couples October 17, 2007

Are you a Jewish couple getting married? Mazal tov! In planning a wedding that reflects who you are as a couple, the myriad symbols and rituals of Jewish tradition can seem baffling. This course for engaged couples will allow you to find your own path through the vast array of Jewish traditions. Explore the options that Judaism offers so that you can make choices that speak to you and that reflect your relationship. Familiarize yourselves with the components of the wedding ceremony itself, including ketubah (marriage contract), breaking the glass, the huppah (wedding canopy), and other rituals. Learn about the symbolic meaning of these customs and how these symbols teach us about married life, developing mutual commitments, dealing with conflict, and building a home. Take this time for yourselves to think about what really matters.
