[nb-NO]Creator[nb-NO] David Huban (photographer)
[nb-NO]Description[nb-NO]Colour photograph of Jackie Weiss (nee Wise) and Tony Weiss under the chuppah with the exchanging of rings.
The groom recites an ancient Aramaic phrase as he places the wedding band on his bride's right index finger—the finger believed to be directly connected to the heart. In a double-ring ceremony (not permitted in some Orthodox weddings) the bride also places a ring on the groom's index finger while repeating a feminine form of the Aramaic phrase, or a biblical verse from Hosea or Song of Songs.
This is part of a collection of images photographed by David Huban representing some of the rituals and customs at a Jewish wedding.
