What Happens After An Orthodox Sephardic Jewish Wedding || Sheva Brachot- 7 Blessings

[@lscpjc]

My childhood friend is Orthodox-I am Catholic. I grew up sharing every holiday with her family and was asked to be a brides maid in her wedding. The whole ceremony was so beautiful and meaningful. I attended her Sheva Brachot and remember how loving this was. My life was so much fuller learning all the traditions of a kosher home, the many holidays and high holy days. And even though she could not eat food at my home, she as well learned about and joined our family during our holidays. Both our families remained close for several years and Lisa and I are still the best of friends,

This is so beautiful Lauren

[@ourmodestfamily]

I worked for a long time in a Jewish housis in Israel and after in Manchester UK, for 5 years I won not only money but friends for life I know your habits,l love your children's educatione I resonated with your roules because l'm Christian's but for me Sabbath is holy I regret not knowing you earlier,although my family interaction whith Jewish people was a long time ago, my grandparents help Jew's. Be blessed speciale people!

I'm sorry about your sister's loss.

[@lisar915r9]

Condolences.

[@alizafuchs4867]

As usual, Sonya, you described one of our traditions SO BEAUTIFULLY. You are an example of an Eishes Chayil and always make a Kiddush H-shem.

[@SonyasPrep]

🙌🙌🙌

[@conniezakhary321]

I've never heard of this tradition but would love to attend

[@sherrytravis4674]

How lovely is this tradition

[@jmw939]

Such a nice Sheva Brochos! I love the object game you played so every participant could give their own personal blessings to the couple.Mazel Tov to them, and so wonderful for you to be m’smeach the Chosson and Kallah so beautifully. ❤

[@user-yv7ll4xe4d]

Chazak uvaruch on that great talk your husband gave.Amazing.continued success to both of you

[@SonyasPrep]

Amen, thank you

[@purpleandred7]

That was so nice, Sonya. I know a Pastor who gives a huge eraser to every couple he marries, incorporating it into the ceremony, that it's given to remind them to erase any struggles, arguments, mistakes, negativity that inevitably occur in life. I really liked the spontaneity of the game your husband chose .. everyone gave some wonderful insight and good wishes to the new couple. May love and happiness always flourish in their home together, and may they always put God first in their lives and in their marriage 👰🤵 Mazel Tov 🥂

[@SonyasPrep]

Amen!! So beautiful

[@michiemca]

I love this, I’m Catholic and for my wedding it was all about the flowers finding a hall all the pretty stuff that went with the wedding. But I don’t ever remember anybody sitting down with us like this and sharing its importance or given any kind of guidance I’m divorced. This celebration is so nice and it’s so nice to know that so many people have your back.

I love at the end of the video the men held hands and danced simply for the joy of it without any fear of being labelled gay or having their masculinity brought into question, that's something we struggle with in Anglo-Saxon dervied cultures these days.

You were suxh a beautiful bride...Shai looked awesome too...I really enjoyed our sheva brachot... although i remember being exhausted after that week...what we did was,we didnt have sheva brachot thr first night after our wedding we were exhausted was a really good decision for us...I am correct that sefardim dont go to the yichud room after the chupa? Shavua Tov have a wonderful week ahead lots of love from Israel
