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.
