Lawrence, who has done the scoring for the TV series Jericho, also has been part of the creative team for the Disney films Pop Rocks and The Cheetah Girls 2. Getting along as co-workers and spouses is something that the couple can take from Lawrence's parents, sing- ers Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme. "The wonderful thing is to be able to share your entire life with some- body, professionally and personally, and that makes for a much richer experience says Lawrence, who also does some background singing for recordings. "The trick can be [know- ing when] to make work as separate as possible from personal life Raised in a home with Conservative Jewish values, Lawrence has collaborated with a friend on a work-in-progress theater piece based on letters written by children of the Holocaust. "I'm really lucky right now because the people at Disney have put my wife and me in a position where what we do is immediately realized and appre- ciated by our daughter, Mabel, 10:' says Lawrence, who lives outside Los Angeles and composes at a computer or grand piano.

Their transgressions are behind them, and they will begin anew. 9) Although the bride walking around her husband is probably the most recognized Jewish wedding tradition, there is no specific reason for it. Some offer kabbalistic expla- nations; others say it shows how a woman encircles her home with love, protecting her husband and children.

Even in the midst of a joyous celebration, we remember the destruction of the Holy Temple. (Or, for those a bit more cynical, the smashing of the glass shows the last time the man will be able to put his foot down.) 1)The groom approaches the chuppah first so that his bride may be brought to him, just as Eve was brought to Adam (Genesis 2:22). Because Eve was created after Adam, she was believed to be the higher life form, and Adam was incomplete without her. 2) It is traditional for the bride and groom to each have two escorts, just as two angels escorted Adam and Eve when they were wed. 3) The ketubah outlines a man's responsibilities to his wife, such as his obligation to feed and clothe her. 4) The chuppah symbolizes the home the couple will build together. 5) False. In fact, no one needs to be there to conduct the wedding. All that is necessary for a Jewish wedding is a bride, a groom and two witnesses. 6) Kiddushin translates to "sanc- tification."
