What is the meaning of breaking
the glass in the Jewish ceremony?
"The breaking of the glass at the end of a wedding ceremony serves to remind
of two very important aspects of a marriage. The bride and groom - and
everyone - should consider these marriage vows as an IRREVOCABLE ACT - just
as permanent and final as the breaking of this glass is unchangeable. But
the breaking of the glass also is a warning of the FRAILTY of a marriage.
That sometimes a single thoughtless act, breech of trust, or infidelity can
damage a marriage in ways that are very difficult to undo - just as it would
be so difficult to undo the breaking of this glass. Knowing that this
marriage is permanent, the bride and groom should strive to show each other
the love and respect befitting their spouse and love of their life."
