The breaking of the plate at a Jewish wedding, done by the mothers of the bride and groom, is a beautiful and meaningful tradition. 🍽️ Just as a shattered plate can never be made completely whole again, this act symbolizes that the marriage is a permanent and irreversible commitment. The mothers are the ones to perform this ritual, as they are seen as the builders of the home, passing on their blessing and this sacred role to the newly married couple. 🤍 Mazel Tov! 🥂 #JewishWedding #Tradition
