The Talmud asks that Jewish
Why is it customary in Jewish
tradition to tear the document weddings not be held on Friday
of divorce after it has been (Babli, Ketubot 5a; Yerushalmi
executed and presented to the Ketubot 1:1, 24d). One reason
given is that it might lead to a
woman?
This practiced is mentioned as
early as in the times of the reli-
gious persecutions of Hadrian. A
number of reason are offered for
this action. In the first place. mak-
ing the tear in the document as-
sures that it would never again
be used should it turn out in the
future that a husband and wife
of the same name as the divorced
couple find this document. Second,
whosover would ever lay eyes on
this document in the future would
refrain from criticizing its con-
tents or casting aspersions upon
its validity since by noticing its
tear he would know that it had
already been fully executed and
he might, by his aspersion cast
doubt on the legitimacy of the
ensuing marriage which the di-
vorced woman may have entered
into. The medielval commentator
to the Talmud, Rabbenu Tam
issued a general decree forbidding
anyone to cast such aspersions
once a Jewish divorce had been
executed, threatening the violator
of the decree with excommunica-
tion. Later it was claimed that the
tear in the document would be an
indication that the woman in ques-
tion had collected whatever guar-
antees were contained in her
Ketuba (marriage contract) in
the event of the dissolution of the
marriage by divorce.
violation of the Sabbath. Another
reason given is that it might de-
tract from the necessary honor
Jews are required to pay to the
Sabbath (Yerushalmi, Loc. cit.).
In later years, it seems that the
practice of weddings on Fridays
became somewhat popular. We
find it practiced as such amongst
Ashkenazic Jews, as early as the
12th Century. One of the great
authorities of the Ashkenazic Jews
(Rabbi Eleazor Rokeach of Worms,
Sefer Rokeach haGadol, 353) even
claims that having a wedding on
a Friday is a good omen because
of astrological reasons. Sephardic
Jews also accepted the practice of
having weddings on Friday. Rabbi
Elezar ben Joel Halevi, a medie-
val authority explains that in many
cases Friday weddings were the
custom because of financial nec-
essity. For one thing, since the
people could not afford lavish food
at any time except the Sabbath,
performing the wedding on Friday
would provide a dual use of the
lavish food prepared for the Sab-
bath—(i.e. both for the Sabbath,
as well as for the wedding feast).
Some point to the fact that Adam
and Eve were really married on
Friday.
