As Tevya takes pains to teach us in Fiddler on the Roof,\u00a0<\/em>the Jewish faith is deeply steeped in tradition. So it comes as\u00a0no surprise that the traditional Jewish wedding incorporates beautiful\u00a0customs dating back thousands of years. Among these traditions are the signing of the Ketubah, the chuppah under which the couple stands, and any number of traditional dances. The rings exchanged by the couple also have deep and customary meanings.<\/p>\n

The traditional wedding begins with the signing\u00a0of the Ketubah.<\/span> The Ketubah is akin to a contract. Revealing its ancient origins, it serves to assert that the bride\u2019s not already married. It also details each couple\u2019s expectations of each other in the marriage. Typically, the couple later frames this beautifully ornate document and gives it pride of place in their home, reminding them of their commitment.<\/p>\n
