These are the versions of the Sheva Berakot we'll be using at our wedding. The explanations provided by the rabbi in this article are beautiful.

1. בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְ-יָ אֱלֹהֵ-ינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, בּוֹרֵא פְּרִי הַגָּפֶן

May your branches cling to one another—wild and overflowing. I bless you with sweet fruits and luscious sanctity.

2. בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְ-יָ אֱלֹהֵ-ינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, שֶׁהַכֹּל בָּרָא לִכְבוֹדוֹ.

May you know one another fully and completely. May you come to learn and love each other’s light and darkness, each other’s blessings and shortcomings. May you help one another grow to better know yourselves, and may you live to be present with each other’s moments of peace and of pain. I bless you with finding and cultivating the places in each other where the entire universe—love and darkness, light and truth—can reside.

3. בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְ-יָ אֱלֹהֵ-ינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, יוֹצֵר הָאָדָם.

I grant you the blessings of mystery and uncertainty. I bless you with the courage to not know—to love from the heart, not the head; to love even when you don’t know how; to love because you know no other way than this. I bless you with knowing one another better than yourself, and with knowing yourself through one another. I bless you with messiness and murkiness—with forgetting where one person stops and the other begins.

4. בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְ-יָ אֱלֹהֵ-ינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, אֲשֶׁר יָצַר אֶת הָאָדָם בְּצַלְמוֹ, בְּצֶלֶם דְּמוּת תַּבְנִיתוֹ, וְהִתְקִין לוֹ מִמֶּנּוּ בִּנְיַן עֲדֵי עַד: בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְ-יָ, יוֹצֵר הָאָדָם

May your marriage and your lives be guided by holy justice and principled action. May you find in one another the strength and resiliency to work on behalf of the oppressed and the downtrodden. May you walk together along a path of mercy, graciousness and righteousness. I give you a world in need of healing, and bless you with the power to heal.

5. שׂוֹשׂ תָּשִׂישׂ וְתָגֵל הָעֲקָרָה, בְּקִבּוּץ בָּנֶיהָ לְתוֹכָהּ בְּשִׂמְחָה: בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְ-יָ, מְשַׂמֵּחַ צִיּוֹן בְּבָנֶיהָ.

May you sanctify my name through the lives you impact. May you spread a love for people of all nations and creeds, and may your deeds of kindness be as numerous as the stars of the heaven and the sands of the sea. I bless you with the ability to share the love you have for one another with any and every divine spark you encounter.

6. שַׂמַּח תְּשַׂמַּח רֵעִים הָאֲהוּבִים, כְּשַׂמֵּחֲךָ יְצִירְךָ בְּגַן עֵֽדֶן מִקֶּֽדֶם: בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְ-יָ, מְשַׂמֵּֽחַ חָתָן וְכַלָּה

May you know joy. May each other’s laughter be the question you spend your life trying to answer. May you serve to make life’s quakes gentler, and life’s shakes steadier, for one another. I bless you with a life of finding joy despite—or perhaps amidst—the trembles.

7. בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְ-יָ אֱלֹהֵ-ינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, אֲשֶׁר בָּרָא שָׂשׂוֹן וְשִׂמְחָה, חָתָן וְכַלָּה, גִּילָה רִנָּה דִּיצָה וְחֶדְוָה, אַהֲבָה וְאַחֲוָה שָׁלוֹם וְרֵעוּת, מְהֵרָה יְ-יָ אֱלֹהֵ-ינוּ יִשָּׁמַע בְּעָרֵי יְהוּדָה וּבְחוּצוֹת יְרוּשָׁלָיִם, קוֹל שָׂשׂוֹן וְקוֹל שִׂמְחָה, קוֹל חָתָן וְקוֹל כַּלָּה, קוֹל מִצְהֲלוֹת חֲתָנִים מֵחֻפָּתָם, וּנְעָרִים מִמִּשְׁתֵּה נְגִינָתָם: בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְ-יָ, מְשַׂמֵּחַ חָתָן עִם הַכַּלָּה.

May you lead a life of sound and song. May you join together in songs of praise, songs of joy and songs of sorrow. May your voices provide comfort and solace, inspiration and ecstasy. May you find and create divinity in whispered “I love you’s” and in humble “I’m sorry’s.” I bless you with the capacity, and the lifelong desire, to hear each other’s calls.

The "I do too" from Marvin after "Do you take this man to be your husband?" in In Trousers absolutely destroyed me so here's this!!!

#Christian Borle as Marvin because he's the only Marvin I've drawn before #also I just really like his face #the clothes are nothing like what he wears in the college production In Trousers #(which I based this on)#but that's cause i wanted to try giving him traditional Jewish wedding clothes and stuff #they just gave him a normal ass suit in the college production/j #AND THEY DIDN'T INCLUDE THE BREAKING GLASS BIT FROM THE 1985 SCRIPT??#which I understand why they wouldn't yk #but still. something about Marvin trying to break it and missing #before Trina does it instead #insert essay about how that reflects their marriage/relationship #I'm insane about this guy #marvin falsettos #in trousers marvin #the marvin trilogy #in trousers #falsettos #christian borle #MILO ART #he looks kinda goofy help :(

Caption:

[Growing up, I always imagined I would be getting married to early 2000's teen idol and gay icon, Hilary Duff. So you could understand my shock today to see you at the end of the aisle and not her. This week I was doing research into Hilary Duff's famed character Lizzie McGuire. In hopes to find some cute connection between you two and in the end say, "thought Hilary Duff isn't here I still have you". But, that's when I made the shocking discovery that I am Lizzie McGuire.

Now hear me out, like her, I'm a bit eccentric, I wear one too many accessories, I'm constantly getting into trouble, and I am a bit fearful of the world and my own path. That's when I made the even more shocking discovery, that while Lizzie McGuire was lost in this crazy world, making mistakes and getting into trouble. She had one constant by her side to help her find her peace and her happiness in life. Her slightly shorter than her, much more hairy, creative, level headed, bad dad joke making, loving, Jewish, best friend Gordo.

Spoiler, they end up together in the end. My whole life I was searching for my Lizzie McGuire, when really I should have been searching for my Gordo. Now I know you're probably as shocked as everyone else sitting here that my vows are so much about Hilary Duff. But, as her iconic chart topping single What Dreams are Made Of says, I've got somewhere to belong. I've got somebody to love. This is what dreams are made of. As cheesy-]

"You may now kiss the groom"

"At long last, I take you to be my husband, to have and to hold as I have always done, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till the end of the line."

Bucky Barnes can't hold back his tears when he leans in to kiss Steve Rogers after stomping the glass. They are pictured laughing into their first kiss as a married couple, under a chuppah and pink flowers.

Valyrian Wedding Rituals & Its Parallels

“Among the people who came to inhabit Northumbria and the Lothians, as well as among other Germanic peoples, the nuptials were completed in two distinct phases. (…) The parties plighted their troth and the contract was sealed, like any other contract, by a hand-shake. This joining of hands was called handfæstung in Anglo-Saxon, and the same word is found in different forms in the German, Swedish and Danish languages. In each it means a pledge by the giving of the hand.” Handfasting' in Scotland - The Scottish Historical Review; Anton, A. E. (1958)

“In ancient Rome, a wedding was a sacred ritual involving many religious practices. (…) In a Roman wedding both sexes had to wear specific clothing. Men had to wear the toga virilis while the bride to wear a wreath, a veil, and a yellow hairnet.” Women's Costume and Feminine Civic Morality in Augustan Rome; Sebesta, Judith Lynn (1997)

“ When the terms of the ketubah were accepted a cup of wine was shared to seal the marriage covenant. (…) The bride and groom shared the same cup, symbolizing the shared life that would be theirs. (…) Wine in Judaism has always symbolized joy. (…) Wine also symbolized blood. The marriage covenant is a blood covenant in the eyes of God. Two lives become one in a lifelong commitment.” The Ancient Jewish Wedding; Lash, Jamie (2012)

Do you know this Jewish character?

Edit: Sorry guys I forgot Andrew Garfield played Spider-Man! (I have never watched a superhero movie ever.) It was in fact a grave mistake on my part to not have his picture. So, updated poll with the iconic Jewish bisexual Spider-Man!

#jumblr #jewish characters #jewish wedding confirmation #word of hashem #other in media confirmation #in one of the comic iterations he wears a kippah #Oh gosh this is so complicated #Uhhh the one spider verse version has a Jewish wedding #And the director and producer of the toby McGuire trilogy said he’s Jewish (hence the photo)#And some comics versions???#He is at least sometimes Jewish #Peter Parker #spiderman #marvel

Fell down a rabbit hole reading about what various white supremacist and alt right shitheads have been up to since 2017 or so, and it’s darkly amusing to me how often they imagine their enemies to be the grand communist conspiracy and not. Like. Normie liberals who hate them just as much. Feels a bit like the thing where communists call all their enemies fascists, but even then communists seem considerably more self aware that often the people they are scrapping with probably don’t think of themselves as fascist.

Turns out weird anti-masturbation cults and angry dipshits who give off Most Divorced Man in the Universe energy are not the foundation for political success.

#also one guy got doxxed and it was revealed he was married to a Jewish woman #and had had a Jewish wedding #and like I don’t know what kind of grift he was running #but good lord these people all just seem like they’re barely holding it together #like I know I know ‘white supremacist’ does not scream ‘well adjusted’ to begin with #but it’s astonishing they ever had their moment in the public spotlight back in 2017/18 #given how absolutely absurd everybody involved seems to have been
