MASORET Jewish Wedding Glass for Groom 4 Inches - Chuppah Breaking Glass with If I Forget Thee O Jerusalem Inscription

BREAKING THE GLASS: The end of the wedding ceremony is marked by the breaking of a glass, usually a thin glass wrapped in a napkin to contain the fragments. It is smashed underfoot by the groom after the seven benedictions, or after the rabbi’s address if it follows the benedictions. The fragments are then placed in the organza bag as a memento. SYMBOLISM: What is the reason? From the Talmud it would appear that breaking the glass served to engender sobriety and balanced behavior. It also serves to remind us of the Destruction of the Temple. HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS: The fragility of glass suggests the frailty of human relationships. Since even the strongest love is subject to disintegration, the glass is broken as a kind of incantation: “As this glass shatters, so may our marriage never break”. LECHAH DODI: It is customary for the bridegroom to recite Lechah Dodi at the reception held in his honor before the chuppah. RELIABLE MANUFACTURING: Made of high-quality materials. The set includes an elegant clear 4” glass
