Marriage

Jews call marriage Kiddushin. This is a Hebrew word which means ‘made holy’ or ‘special.’

Couples are maried under a canopy called a Huppah (sometimes spelled Chuppah). They make a written contract or promise together called the Ketubah. The couple exchange rings as a symbol of their promises.

A glass is broken at Jewish weddings to remind the couple that sadness is always just around the corner for Jews.
