Groom’s Table & Bride’s Throne

Let’s talk about the traditional customs that surround the groom's tisch and the bride's throne - one way to enrich the happiest day of your life with Jewish customs that will bring friends and family from all faiths and customs a little closer together!

As a wedding rabbi, I have a lot of meetings where so many couples focus on the ceremony - which is great! Often, we don’t have time to talk about ways to incorporate pre-ceremony traditions into your wedding day, which can be another wonderful opportunity to include family members, especially when you are an interfaith couple.

The great thing about the groom’s table and the bride’s throne is that they require NOTHING in terms of Hebrew knowledge or special equipment! Here’s how these old-country customs can come through to add Jewish customs to your wedding ceremony without too much fuss.
