Most Jewish marriages today use money or worth. It is called Kesef, a form for kiddushin. It involves the use of a wedding ring. However, the traditional Jewish wedding is based on the Jewish principles of contract and the transfer of property or of rights.
A Jewish wedding ceremony takes place traditionally under the marriage canopy or a chuppah. The term chuppah has become synonymous with “a Jewish wedding”. Just prior to the chuppah, the groom is taken to see the bride at what has been come to be called bedekin or veiling. The bride’s veil is lowered to cover her face. The marriage contract is called a ketubah. It is publicly read and two witnesses present during the ceremony and required to sign it. Conservative Judaism uses a traditional ketubah. A ketubah is arranged specifying the bride and groom’s obligations to each other and contingencies in case of divorce. The groom in Jewish is called chatan and the bride is called kallah. The chatan places a ring on kallah’s right index finger. He then declares, “You are consecrated to me, through this ring, according to the religion of Moses & Israel.” The acceptance of the ring by the bride indicates her agreement to the marriage. With the bride’s acceptance of the ring, she accepts the terms of the marriage contained in a ketubah.
On the other hand, Rabbi is a religious teacher. Rabbi was a proper term of address while speaking to a superior. Later, the term evolved into a formal title for members of the Patriarchate.
