What is a Jewish Wedding? | Explained

What actually happens during a Jewish wedding ceremony? It's more than just smashing glasses and a fantastic dance party after the ceremony under the chuppah. Stephanie Horwitz also explores the significance of the ketubah, what exactly the bedekken is all about, and why Jewish couples attend the sheva brachot - seven days of feasting with family and friends after the wedding.

By uncovering the meaning and symbolism behind five ancient Jewish wedding traditions, Stephanie reveals how these rituals actually serve to bind new couples together in a marriage grounded in love, commitment, and respect.
