Shalom, I have got a request from four non-Jewish girls in Netherlands, to do a video on the Jewish seven blessings of a Jewish wedding. But just a few words about Jewish wedding of ceremonies brief. You need a Huppah which is a canopy and you need two Kiddush cups. And you need a ring and a Jewish wedding license, a Ketubah. The ceremony basically structured by a welcome. And then you lift up the first couple of wine. And you chant the Patron of benediction. And then it is optional to ask them if they want to marry each other. That is not legally required. Then they exchange rings and the groom has to say a certain sentence to the bride. To make it a cozier wedding in front of two witnesses and then the Ketubah is red. Then you lift the second cup of wine and you chant the seven blessings.
Now on my blog at RabbiReflects.BlogSpot.com, I have which will be right bellow this video, I have the seven blessings and Hebrew transliteration and in English translation. So I am not going to translate them here. I am just going to sing down. This is just one tune. That is more or less commonly used. Given my bad voice for the seven blessings (Signing Foreign Language), no I am going to say another word. That I am saying the technical correct name of God, some orthodox Jews might find that not good. Because they say I should not say those names if you are not saying the blessing. But since this is for educational purposes, to teach them how to say it, I am going to use the names of God. So let me do that more slowly because I know people want to learn it (Singing Foreign Language), and then people hearing it should say (Singing Foreign Language). The begging of each blessing is exactly the same (Singing Foreign Language). In the begging, six words are “Blessed art though oh Lord our God, king of the universe.
Number four (Singing Foreign Language).
Number five (Singing Foreign Language).
Number six (Singing Foreign Language).
Now the seventh, I will sing it the fun way I like to sing it, it is a little more frail of happy. You can also do it with that same tune I have been doing before. By the way this is for December 13th of 2007. If you go to the blogspot in a future time and want to be able to find it easily (Singing Foreign Language). Again (Singing Foreign Language).
Those are the seven and then at the end. You do the priestly benediction, which I will do in a different video. And you pronounce them husband and wife. Then the groom steps on the glass and the couple goes to be by them selves for a few minutes at list. And that is the Jewish wedding, shalom.
