''Badeken'', ''Bedeken'', ''Badekenish'', or ''Bedekung'' ((イディッシュ語:באַדעקן) ''badekn'', lit. covering), is the ceremony where the groom veils the bride in a Jewish wedding. Just prior to the actual wedding ceremony, which takes place under the ''chuppah'', the bridegroom, accompanied by his parents, the Rabbi, and other dignitaries, and amidst joyous singing of his friends, covers the bride's face with a veil. At this point, it is traditional for the Rabbi to pronounce a blessing upon the couple. The bride wears this veil until the conclusion of the chuppah ceremony.〔Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, 147:3〕 ==Sources== The custom of a virgin bride wearing a veil is mentioned in the Talmud.〔Ketubot 17b, Rashi ad loc〕 The veiling itself is a symbol of modesty, based upon the verse in connection with Rebecca meeting Isaac, "()hen she took her veil and covered herself."〔Genesis, 24:65〕 The practice of the groom uncovering the veil comes from when Jacob married Leah by accident because her face was veiled, when he really wanted to marry Rachel.〔Genesis, 29:20-25〕 Some maintain that the Badeken ceremony is the meaning of the term ''chuppah'' (Hebrew for "covering") mentioned in the Talmud and thus has legal ramifications.〔( Badeken -- Veiling ) on Chabad.org〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Badeken」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
