What really happens under the chuppah?
When did rings become part of the ceremony? Who can perform a wedding?
Why do we break a glass—and has it always been there?

You are invited to a special class with Tamar Gur-Krause—the woman who has married the most couples in Israel.

Let's dive into the history of the chuppah:
From its ancient roots, through its halachic and cultural development over the generations, to the new forms it takes today.
We will examine the ketubah, the blessings, the rings, and the breaking of the glass—and ask what lies behind them.
We will also discuss the legal situation in Israel and how to create a ceremony that is relevant to modern life without losing touch with tradition.

A gathering for learning, conversation, and sharing.
