Jewish Brides...

That are having the 7 Blessing Ceremony...

How are you incorporating this? We were thing of having the BP read them & FH's Aunt & Uncle who we're close with...

I'm not sure how this has been done, I've never seen it. I'm Catholic, but I will be converting, FH is Jewish, but he has a small family & the one wedding (for his family) that we've been too was non-religous ceremony...

TIA

Not yet .... Oh thanks for the tip, I'm glad to know that

You might want to pick up 'The New Jewish Wedding'. It will walk you through a Jewish wedding -- which I warn you -- is nothing like a traditional catholic wedding.

We had a very orthodox jewish ceremony, our Rabbi had the 7 blessings printed phoenetically on index cards and we provided him with a list of family members we wanted to honor along with which blessings we wanted to give them to read.

During the ceremony, he called them up one at a time and they did the blessing.

I second this, it's a great book that explains EVERYTHING and has lots of great suggestions.
As for the 7 blessings, we're choosing people who are not in the BP to honor. They will each read a blessing in English and then the rabbi will read it in Hebrew.

Not to be a PIA but do you remember how long this too? I'm assuming 20-30 min

Our entire ceremony was about 30 minutes

my rabbi reading the english after my cantor chants the hebrew.

some people incorporate family and friends into this section by having them read the english of the sheva b'rachot..

which traditional dances?

The only one I'm aware of is Havah Nagila, which really doesn't require any 'learning,' you just kind of skip around in a circle and then get thrown up into the air on a chair.

Are there others I'm missing though? Do you mean you want to learn traditional Israeli folk dance?
