Huppah

A Huppah is a Jewish wedding canopy that symbolizes the home the couple will build together. Usually a cloth or fabric draped over four poles, it creates a sacred space where the marriage ceremony takes place. The Huppah represents God's protection and the couple’s new life as partners. It is often decorated with flowers, fabrics, or other meaningful items, and is open on all sides to symbolize hospitality and openness to family and community. The Huppah is a central and meaningful element in Jewish wedding traditions, emphasizing the importance of home, community, and spiritual blessing.
