I remember reeading some years back, that, according to ancient jewish tradi- tion, regarding the marriage ceremony, the bridegroom would always come for his bride on a Tuesday. And, at night, the bridegroom and his wedding party would approach the bride-to -be's home, and at midnight, someone in the wedding party would shout: "Behold, the bridegroom cometh". Tell me, is this really true, that the bridegroom used to come for his bride on a Tuesday? And, did someone in the wedding party always shout: "Behold, the bridegroom cometh"? Would it be possible to e-mail me an article of this ancient jewish marriage ceremony, which talks about the bridegroom coming for his bride on a Tuesday, as well as someone in the wedding party shouting: "Behold, the bridegroom cometh". I would greatly appreciate your help in helping to answer these questions for me. Thank You! Terry

is Rabbi Yisroel Weiss who I recently saw being interviewed on fox news normal?Do his views represent any opion within orthodox Judaism,Is it a chillul Hashem for him to voice his opion to the non Jewish World?

my daughter is getting married in an orthodox synagogue in London next month. I am a divorcee. Do i need to wear a head covering as I am no longer married. thanks

Dear Rabbi, I am to be the celebrant at the wedding of my nephew and his Jewish fiancee. I am interested in the spiritual symbolism of the various aspects of a Jewish wedding, such as: the ketuba, badeken, the chuppa, the seven blessings and the circling by the bride of the groom. What special prayers are said during the ceremony? The couple would like to emphasize their new relationship for themselves and also as part of the community. They would like to ask for the support of those witnessing their marriage. In what ways might Judaism do this? Thank you so very much for this service you provide. Margaret Campion, Chapel Hill, NC

During the time of Jesus and the Temple, what did the most typical fast look like; ie, time frame, liquid consumption, prayer, activities, etc.
