Weddings in Israel show us
about how to bring unbound-
ed joy to our simchas. It's not
about the bridesmaids or the
procession or being solemn. It's
a real community event that
celebrates the chatan (groom)
and kallah (bride) starting a
new life together. It's all about
ruach (spirit). Read about two
recent weddings in Israel, and
possibly weddings to come in
an exclusive commentary
by Leonard I. Wanetik of
West Blomfield.
