The Chuppah symbolizes the house that the couple will build their future in.

White ?

it's a wedding ceremony. The chuppah itself is what the bride and groom stand under, but most people call the ceremony itself a chuppah

Jewish wedding

Yes!

The wedding chuppah is a special canopy that wedding couples stand under in a Jewish wedding ceremony. It symbolizes their future privacy of their new home.

They stand under a chuppah (canopy) that has 4 poles.

Since Jews stand under the chuppah (marriage canopy), you'll need lots of them - 1 for each couple, but it's not impossible.

In Hebrew, it is called Nisuin. The ceremony itself is called Chuppah or Chatunah.

Of course. Or they can present themselves unescorted. The requirement is that they both show up, spend some time together under the chuppah, and complete some prescribed procedures there.

I think it is pronounced with a silent c, so it would be hu-pah

The chuppah canopy. It also represents the presence of God above.

The public part of a Jewish wedding ceremony requires a chuppah. This does not have to be a formal structure though. All that is required is a piece of fabric that is supported at its four corners. Many people have close friends or family members hold a tallit over them as their chuppah.

The wedding arch or arbor, chuppah is meant to replace the alter when a couple chooses to marry outside. It is a long standing Jewish tradition that the marring couple have something to kiss under. The Chuppah, arbor, arch fall into play and take the place of the alter inside a church or Temple.

A Chuppah is basically a canopy for a Jewish couple to be married under. It usually would have a cloth, sheet, or a tallit streched on four poles or sometimes just held up by people. A Jewish couple would conduct their ceremony under this canopy which sympolizes the home they will build together.

Yes. They can wear leis on their heads and around their necks while standing under the chuppah.

I am not a Jewish law decider but I will say what I think is true: 1. The chuppah is irrelevant - if they can get married they can get married anywhere and if they cant get married they cannot get married anywhere. 2. The restrictions of who a Cohen can marry only apply to a male Cohen, not female. Thus she can marry a divorced man and may they be blessed with children and happiness, and may all people find someone to live out their days happily with.

Any canopy will do, but the easiest way to do this is to get 4 wooden poles and put hooks on the tops. Then put a tallit corner on each hook. You can even decorate the poles with flowers or strings of lights or even cloth.

This custom is hundreds of years old. It's purpose is to symbolize the couple's new life together in their future home.

At a Jewish wedding the groom stands next to the bride, on her left; both of them facing Jerusalem.

A chuppa is the canopy under which a Jewish wedding ceremony takes place. For a nice explanation, see the Answers.com topic on chuppa at http://www.answers.com/topic/chuppah .

As many as there are couples who want their wedding to be different and special. The basic requirements are that the chuppah be a canopy, supported at its four corners, large enough to cover the bride, groom, and officiant during the ceremony, and that the corners be held up, or at least held, by four people. Perhaps the most common embellishment is to form the canopy out of the prayer shawl that the groom will soon begin wearing, when he is a married man.

In Jewish marriage, the three stages are Kiddushin (betrothal), Nissuin (marriage ceremony), and Chuppah (home establishment). These stages symbolize the commitment, unity, and creation of a new family. Kiddushin signifies the couple's intent to marry, Nissuin formalizes the union, and Chuppah represents the couple's new life together. Together, these stages emphasize the sacredness and permanence of marriage in Jewish tradition.

The chuppah (wedding canopy) is not a yiddish word, but a Hebrew one. For 'serious' matters, yiddish is never directly used. Some yiddish 'slang'-ish imagery is used very, very indirectly for some obscure aspects of Jewish liturgy, but only in the most roundabout way. The chuppah is made, most simply, of a prayer shawl (tallit) suspended on the most simple, humble farming and household implements, creating an astonishingly powerful ceremony combining humility with profundity.

The wedding canopy, or chuppah, represents the home of the new bride and groom. Having the sides open symbolizes an open invitation to guests into their home, as Abraham and Sarah did with their tents.

There are many different kinds of Chuppot, or marriage canopies. The simplest kind of Chuppah is a tallit (or prayer shawl) held up by four poles with hooks on the ends. The tallit usually belongs to the groom or someone close to the groom. This kind takes only seconds to set up.

The most important Jewish ceremonies, such as the festivals, are commanded in the Torah (see for example Leviticus ch.23). Other ceremonies are traditions stated in the Talmud (such as the three Sabbath meals), or are customs which were created with the intention of beautifying the observance of the Torah's commands. An example would be the chuppah (canopy) at Jewish weddings.

chuppah

In biblical times, some ancient Jewish marriage customs included the payment of a bride price, the signing of a marriage contract, and the ceremony taking place under a canopy called a chuppah. Additionally, the groom would present gifts to the bride and her family as a sign of his commitment.

A square piece of material, sometimes velvet, other times a quilt-patchwork of friends' hand-designed art or simply a prayer shawl (Tallis). Either way, the canopy is held up by four poles, sometimes free-standing and sometimes actually held aloft by the pole-holders.

The canopy is called a "chupah".

It's a cloth held up by 4 poles. Its top covering can be a tallit, or some other cloth material with designs on it. They can be decorated with curtains and flowers. See the attached Related Link.

The Hebrew word "nisu'in" refers to the marriage ceremony or the act of getting married in Judaism. It is the second part of the Jewish wedding process, following the "kiddushin" or engagement period. Nisu'in involves the couple standing under a traditional wedding canopy called a "chuppah" and the recitation of marriage vows.

The majority of weddings in Israel are at least nominally religious.

Religious Jewish weddings have four parts. The first two parts are under the Chuppah (wedding canopy).

Before the ceremony gets underway, the two families meet and agree upon tanaim (what their respective financial support to the couple will be). This may take place at any time before the wedding.

Just prior to the chuppah, the groom, led by the parents, approaches the bride and places a veil upon her which will remain during the chuppah. This is based on a tradition from Jacob.

The first part of the wedding: under the chuppah, the groom gives an item of value (customarily a gold ring) to the bride and, in Hebrew, declares his intention to marry her (see Tosafot commentary, to Talmud Ketubot 3a). Then a blessing is said (Talmud, Ketubot 7b). Technically, this actually constitutes the binding stage of the engagement, and in ancient times was usually done separately from the wedding ceremony.

Between the first and second parts of the wedding, the Rabbi customarily reads aloud the ketubah (marriage contract).

The second part of the wedding: the seven wedding-blessings (see Talmud, Ketubot 8a) are sung over a cup of wine, and the bride and groom take a drink from the cup. Then a glass or plate is broken, to symbolize that even in this happy time, we remain aware of the Destruction of the Temple (see also Tosafot commentary, to Talmud Berakhot 31a).

The third part of the wedding: the bride and groom retire in privacy for several minutes to a room. This constitutes a symbolic consummation and finalizes the formal portion of the marriage. During this seclusion they break the fast which they observed on their wedding day.

The fourth part of the wedding: the couple then enter the adjacent wedding hall, and the festive meal is served to the assembled guests amid a lot of music and dancing (see Talmud, Ketubot 17a).
