TítuloPhotograph of the wedding of Jackie and Tony Weiss, 1983
Creador David Huban (photographer)
DescripciónColour photograph of Jackie Weiss (nee Wise) and Tony Weiss with the breaking of glass.
After the couple have exchanged rings and the formal ceremony is completed, the husband breaks glass. This ritual is a symbol of the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem, a representation of the fragility of human relationships and a reminder that marriage changes the lives of individuals forever. It's also the official signal to shout, ‘Mazel Tov!’ (congratulations, good fortune).
This is part of a collection of images photographed by David Huban representing some of the rituals and customs at a Jewish wedding.
