Our family considers all the Jews of Estonia as a member of our big family, therefore will be glad to see you at the reception on the occasion of the chuppah held in the honor of the eldest daughter Musie, she was born in Estonia and grew up before your eyes.

The theme of the event is “We are all one family", and it is the final event in Hakhel or the year of Unity. “The Year of Unity” (Hakhel) is every eighth year immediately following the Seventh Year (Shmita). It was a special year in our history: during the Jewish holidays, all Jews — men, women and children — gathered at the Temple. 

The week after the wedding (seven days of celebrations) is characterized by the fact that every day special meals are arranged, at the end of which the Sheva Brahot (seven blessings) is read out aloud. 

Dinners are held in different places so that "new guests" can be invited who were not present at the wedding. During the dinner, songs, wishes for the newlyweds and special wedding blessings are performed. 

You should wear festive, formal clothes at the chuppah.

Men must have their head covered during the ceremony. A kippah (yarmulke) or other headgear is acceptable.

We will be grateful if women are dressed modestly according to Jewish tradition: without a deep neckline or slits, the sleeves should cover the elbows, and the skirt should cover the knees, the fabric should not be transparent. 

Men shake hands with men, women shake hands with women.

The best gift is joyful mood and good wishes to the young couple. Since the newlyweds will leave Israel after the wedding, we ask you not to bring flowers and items, the best gift for the young couple is your attendance and warm wishes. The young couple will appreciate a mitzvah, a good deed done in their honor.

If you wish to give the young couple a gift, they will be very grateful for monetary contributions to help them buy items for their new home.
