The 'Simchah' ('the celebration')

 
 

Let's Dance!

We've finished the serious bit.  We've eaten.
Now... let's really enjoy the evening!

The pattern of any wedding simchah is always similar...
For the Chosson, it starts with a dance with his Father, and next with his Rabbi, and then other family members. After them come his close friends, and finally with anybody else who hadn't had a turn earlier. Then you get the 'shticks' (party tricks) where friends show off their skills by dancing in spectacular ways.

The ladies have their own rituals, including skipping with a rope.
Tamara was asked to burst some glitter-filled balloons, and the glitter got everywhere!
Other people tumbled, leapt into the air, and there was no end to the fun.

And it wouldn't be a Jewish wedding without the jugglers!
(often with burning clubs...)

Yes, it was a real simchah!

Our special thanks toour good friends, Scott Seltzer, of the Jerusalem Jewish Jugglers, and Scholem Erlanger, who juggled with him.
