The wedding of the daughter of the Chief Rabbi of Russia Berl Lazar named Rivka and Sholom, son of Rabbi of Odessa and the south of Ukraine Abraham Wolf, took place in the city of Maale Adumim, east of Jerusalem. This was reported by the correspondent of "RIA Novosti".
According to him, the wedding ceremony was held in Russian and Hebrew. In total, about 200 people were invited to the celebration, including prominent representatives and leaders of the Jewish communities of Russia and Ukraine, the agency writes.
According to the agency's correspondent, the ceremony took place on the territory of a large shopping complex D-City, which is located right on the border of the Judean Desert.
"The newlyweds stand under the wedding canopy - Khupa, and rabbis and invited persons read seven blessings (the rite of Sheva brahot in Hebrew). Rivka's bride has a covered head, and the groom Sholom reads prayers to himself. After reading the blessings, the groom put a ring on the bride's finger and traditionally broke the glass," the publication on the website of the Moscow Jewish Community Center says.
