Host (Ten Minute Halacha)

But the Ramah writes that that's not necessarily what chuppah is.

When he brings her home, that's chuppah.

Chuppah is a person who is a person who is a person who is a person who is a person

And some say the chuppah is that they spread a cloth over her head at the time of the bracha.

What exactly is that?

So is that what we call the chuppah?

Is that a talis?

Is that a patekin?

Something like that.

Some say it's when she goes out in this special canopy.

And some say it's when she goes out in this special canopy.

says, what we call chuppah is a canopy that's held up by posts, by poles, and the chassim and kala go underneath that chuppah.

So there are all these different opinions.

Well, chuppah is, one of them might be that they wrap themselves in the talus.

Another reason for the talus, the kolbo in Simen Ayin He says that the minig of covering the chassim and the kala with the talus was to encourage them to do mitzvos in their marriages.

And what better symbolism of mitzvot than tzitzit, because tzitzit represents all Taryag mitzvot.

So, in fact, why do we dafka want to associate tzitzit with a marriage?

Because the Torah juxtaposes the two of them.

The Torah in Devarim Perchav Be'iz, G'dilim ta'aselecha al arba kanfos k'suscha, asher ta'chaseba, that's the mitzvot tzitzit, very next pasuk, ki yikach ish isha, the pasuk.
