Marriage in the Judaism
Marriage is one of the most important rituals of Judaism. It is consider as a holy tradition. In Jewish literature, the word use to refer to marriage is “kiddishin” that means “sanctification”. Religion of Judaism presents marriage as the ideal human state. Depending on Judaism, marriage is considered as the spiritual bonding of two people for God’s commandment, and according with Jewish legal aspects, marriage is a private contractual agreement that have legal rights and obligations. For Jewish, marriage have two purposes: companionship and procreation. Torah (Judaism book) tells that the marriage is the state in which adult people could be complete. It says: "A man who does not marry is not a complete person." (Lev. 34a) "Any man who has no wife lives without joy, without blessing, and without goodness." (B. Yev. 62b).
Judaism promotes and praise marriage institution, and describes it as very important component of the Jewish society, which has to be based principally on harmony and respect and result in familiar stability.
The role cultural plays in the marriage
Marriage is elevated by Judaism and for many Jewish because it is said that this institution has allow the survival of their people through generations in other countries and in places where they were oppressed. During many time marriage has helped to preserve Jewish culture and religion traditions.
Wedding ceremony on Judaism
Wedding’s day, groom and bride are suppose to fast, recite psalms, and ask God for forgiveness for their transgressions to prepare to enter in the marriage. Before the wedding ceremony it is a tradition that the groom veil his bride, and the couple are escorted to a marriage canopy where the bride circles his groom seven times (as symbol of the seven blessings of the Torah to the marriage). After that they bless the wine and recite other blessings and then they pass to the rings ritual. Wedding rings are the heart of the wedding ceremony, after the couple uses the rings they are told to be married. When the groom put the ring in his bride index finger he says: “mekudeshet” that means “be sanctified to me” and vice versa with the bride. Immediately after the ceremony the couple went to a private room (that symbolizes the new home) to break their fast, and after it they have a traditional party with meal, music and dancing.
Opinion
In my opinion it is good how Judaism present marriage because it is an institution that contributes a lot to their social organization, and the maintenance of their culture. Also I believe that marriage is presented a little utopian by Judaism. Because it says that marriage is the perfect human state, and I think that there are some people that do not born to marry, I don’t think marriage is for every people just for those whom can take it. Also, a person to feel complete does not need to stay with another person. I think that we born alone so we can live alone and be happy.
