The most important parts of this wedding are; fitting rings under Huppah, giving the Ketuba which is a kind of marriage contract, reading the seven Beraha, and breaking glasses. This article in the Jewish wedding traditions will be examined in two parts: pre-wedding preparations and the wedding. And also the similarities with some wedding traditions practiced in Anatolia will be indicated.
