Question
What should I expect at a Russian Jewish Wedding?
Answer
Russian weddings are very celebratory, vibrant events! There will be dancing, singing and toasting. One highlight of a Russian wedding is the food and alcohol, which is served differently than a typical affair. We can't wait for you to experience this! You will not leave hungry and we expect all guests to raise their (shot) glasses early and often! There will be many Jewish traditions as part of the wedding ceremony. The bride and groom will stand under a chuppah, a canopy, representing the Jewish home that will be built after marriage. The groom will break a glass at the end of the ceremony, symbolizing that the marriage will last as long as the glass remains broken, i.e. forever. There will be many more Jewish traditions including the Hora, an Israeli dance signifying the couples' union. Get ready for a joyous and FUN celebration!
