THE KETUBAH

Your Love Letter Listen Kallah, can you imagine what kind of love letters Avraham is writing to Sara? I don’t know where they are, you know, but I can give you a little hint. They are written right here on this paper [the Ketubah]. Because this is the love letter that a Jewish man […] Continue reading →

CHILDREN

Children Need You Chosson and Kallah, I bless you…. Maybe some people bless you that you should always sleep at night. I bless you that you should always be woken up by your children at night. And I bless you that whenever your children are crying, you should say, “Master of the world, […] Continue reading →

TRUTH

There is Only One Truth The truth is always one, right? Only when you get into lying, does everybody say something else. So imagine if there would be one ounce of truth in the world, then there would be peace in the world. And the closeness between a husband and a wife depends […] Continue reading →

THE RING

Receiving from the Heart I want you to know something, Chosson: I’m sure you want to marry her, but I want you to summon your whole ratson [will]. Mamash, I want you to want it, to want it, to want it, to want it, to want it in the deepest, deepest, mamash the […] Continue reading →

BEDECKEN: COVERING THE FACE OF THE BRIDE.

Opening the Gates Mazal tov, Holy Chosson. Mazal tov, Holy Kallah. I bless you to open gates for all of Israel. Right now you are mamash standing by the gates. And the Ribbono Shel Olam is opening the gates for both of you. The beginning of the chuppah is that the Chosson […] Continue reading →

KABBOLAS KINYAN LIFTING THE HANDKERCHIEF

Heavenly Bank Account Gd has a lot for you in your bank account, but sometimes you forget to go to the teller and pick it up. When you lift the handkerchief, it’s your chance to go to Gd’s bank and say, “Master of the world, whatever You have for me and my holy bride, […] Continue reading →

THE ENGAGEMENT DOCUMENT

“Mazal Tov!” Mazal Tov means that everything you do, from now on, should be at the right moment in the right place. Imagine if Rothschild told me, I’m ready to give you two million dollars. I go to his office, and they tell me he just left this morning for Hong Kong. Gevalt! I don’t […] Continue reading →

HEAVENLY ENGAGEMENT

The chuppah [wedding ceremony]… When you write the kesuba [the marriage contract], it’s between the bride and the groom. The tenaim, the engagement, is not between the bride and the groom. It’s between the people who are standing behind the bride. It’s like the bride and groom are not there. Because the wedding is mamash […] Continue reading →
