Abstract

The traditional Jewish wedding has so far unchanged for centuries in the basic elements, although each congregation has demonstrated little differences due to settled customs. The Jewish wedding traditions carries proper religious properties for the the sanctity of family unity which conduce to the continuation of the Jewish generation. The community attaches great importance to this united ceremony, combining the engagement (erusin/kiddushin) and the marriage (nisuin) which had been done separately at first. The most important parts of this wedding are; fitting rings under Huppah, giving the Ketuba which is a kind of marriage contract, reading the seven Beraha, and breaking glasses. This article in the Jewish wedding traditions will be examined in two parts: pre-wedding preparations and the wedding. And also the similarities with some wedding traditions practiced in Anatolia will be indicated.

Abstract

Geleneksel Yahudi düğünü her cemaatin yerleşik adetlerine göre bazı küçük farklılıklar göstermekle birlikte, ana unsurlarıyla yüzyıllardır değişmeden bugüne kadar gelmiştir. Yahudi düğün gelenekleri, Yahudi neslinin devamına vesile olan aile birliğinin kutsallığına uygun şekilde dini özellikler taşımaktadır. Önceleri ayrı zamanlarda olan nişanlanma (erusin/kiduşin) ve evlenme (nisuin) merasimlerinin birleştirilerek yapıldığı bu törene, cemaat büyük bir önem vermektedir. Bu törenin en önemli bölümleri hupa altında yüzük takılması, bir nevi evlilik kontratı olan ketuba verilmesi, yedi kutsamanın okunması ve bardak kırılmasıdır. Bu makalede Yahudi düğün gelenekleri; düğün öncesi hazırlıklar ve düğün olarak iki bölümde incelenecektir. Anadolu’da uygulanan bazı düğün gelenekleri ile benzerliklere de işaret edilecektir.
