Mazel Tov! A Celebration of Jewish Weddings
May 13 - July 31, 2012

Standing under the chuppah. Breaking the glass. Circle Dancing. These familiar, beloved traditions enliven the Jewish wedding. Many of the vibrant and joyful customs date back centuries. While some of these traditions are still upheld today, younger generations have incorporated new customs reflective of their contemporary lives. Drawing on the Museum's collection and objects borrowed from the community, this exhibit will explore the mores, symbolic artifacts, and celebration unique to the Jewish wedding.
