QUESTION: Why is it that
some families prefer to hold their
weddings on Friday?
ANSWER: This custom is mar
tlcularly popular among the Chas-
sld1c sects. The reasons given are
varied. Some claim that this is
done because the first marriage
on this earth took place on Fri
DAY. This was the marriage of
Adam and Eve. The Almighty
himself was said to have been
the attendant at this marriage
having ones marriage on Fridav
thus emulates the first marriage
on earth and seeks to have the
Almighty himself as an attendant
Others claim that this is done so
that the bride and groom ioin
their wedding day to the Sabbath
making it a more blessed occa-
sion.

QUESTION: Why is it custom
arY for all present to exclaim
Mazel Tov" after the glass is
broken at the ceremony?
ANSWER: In the first place
this act marks the end of the
ceremony which, gives the guests
present their first opportunity to
express themselves without inter-
rupting the ceremony. Some
sources claim that it was particu-
larly Gus omary to exclaim
"Mazel Tov" at this point since
the breaking of the glass signifies
a sad memory-the destruction of
the temple in Jerusalem. It is not
fitting to end ceremony on a
sad note and so the guests exclaim
'Mazel Tov" so that the ceremony
at least ends on happy note.

QUESTION: Where is the most
fitting place for the Sabbath
candles?
ANSWER: Traditionally tn e
most appropriate place for the
Sabbath candles is upon the table
at which the family eats it's Sab
bath meals. Some recent Halachic
authorities claim that candles that
are lit elsewhere for the Sabbath
are not appropriate. enough for
the blessing to be made over
thew. The reason given is that
the Sabbath candles are lit to pro-
mote the peace of the household
by lighting up the area of family
living. Since the most central
place for family gatherings is at
the table, hence the Sabbath can
dies are placed upon the table.
