#11) It's traditional to
give a Jewish bride and
groom a loaf of bread, so
that they should never be
hungry Of course, this
was done when they
entered their new home.
Please refrain from pre-
senting a huge loaf to the
couple as they celebrate at their wed-
ding ceremony.

#12) The Tanach (Jewish Bible) for-
bids a parent from showing
favoritism toward any child.

#13) In some congregations, when a
man has completed reading from the
Torah on the Shabbat before his wed-
ding, he is showered with nuts. This is
because the numerical value of the
Hebrew word for nut, egoz, is the
same as that of toy, or good (both are
17). If you follow this tradition, or are
considering it, we can only hope the
nuts are of the smaller variety, though.
No groom wants to come to the
chuppah with a bump the size of a
walnut on his forehead.

#14) The Baal Shem Toy said,
"When a father complains that his
son has taken to evil ways, what
should he do? Love him more than
ever."

#15) The Talmud states, "Great is the
honoring of father and mother, for God
makes more of it than of honoring
Himself."

#16) Many Jewish couples choose to
wed on Tuesday because of a passage in
Genesis (1:10, 12). This is where the
words ki toy, meaning "[and God saw]
that it was good," appear in reference to
the third day of Creation.

#17) According to the Talmud, "The
children of the man who married for
money will turn out to be a curse to
him."

together the entire universe."

obligated to teach his child his religion, a
trade — and how to swim.
