Words for a Jewish. event:
Simcha means "happiness." A sim-
cha is a happy event, like a brit, a bat
mitzvah.
Chatuna is a wedding.
Chasan is the groom.
Kallah is the bride.
Kabbalat Panim literally means the
accepting of faces." It is a reception at
which the bride greets her guests.
Meanwhile, the groom is at the
chasan's tisch, groom's table. The men
gather around to make toasts, learn a
little Torah and sign a document
called the Tana'im.
Tana'im is a short document, signed
by two witnesses, that attests to the
legal terms of the engagement.
Ketubah, or "writ," is a Jewish mar-
riage contract. This document is beau-
tiful, but it also spells out the chasan's
formal and legal obligations to his
kallah.
Bedecken is where the chasan
"bedecks" the kallah with her veil,
after making sure it is her! In the
Torah, Jacob was tricked by his father-
in-law Laban into marrying Leah
instead of his beloved Rachel. Now,
we always check!
Chuppah is the wedding canopy:
four posts holding up a decorative
cloth or a tallit by its corners, symbol-
izing the couple's new home.
Kitel is a thin, white robe that is
supposed to make the groom look like
an angel.
Kiddushin is the marriage ceremony
itself. The chasan arrives under the
chuppah first, to be circled seven times
by the kallah when she arrives. Some
couples choose to circle around each
other.
There are two main parts to the
service:
Erusin is the formal engagement (in
talmudic times, this might be held a
year in advance of the wedding, but
today it is done just before the offical
marriage formulations. Erusin is
achieved with a blessing and a shared
cup of wine.
Nesu'in follows, in which the bride
and groom actually get married.
