19 Nov 2009, 3:47 AM | Re: Jewish marriage significance for the individual: - allows for the fulfilment of the first mitzvah "Go forth and multiply". - each act in the wedding ceremony reflects jewish beliefs and traditions for example the ketubah reinstating that marriage is a holy covenant, the exchange of rings serving as a reminder of the contract between God and Abraham and other patriarchs. - provides a loving companion (or soulmate another Jewish belief) as instructed by scripture "it is not good for man to be alone.. " significance for the community: - marriage acts as a reminder of joy. jewish history has been a tale of woe and each marriage reminds them that in times of upheaval there is a chance for new hope/fresh start (with each marriage) - allows for the continuation of the jewish line. a person is a jew if their mother is jewish hence it is crucial for jewish believers to "multiply".  |
