Kiddushin is a Hebrew term that refers to the Jewish marriage ceremony. It signifies the sanctification and commitment between a couple, marking the beginning of their marital relationship. The ceremony typically involves the groom giving the bride a ring and reciting specific blessings, symbolizing their bond and mutual responsibilities. In Jewish law, Kiddushin is one of the two main stages of marriage, the other being Nissuin, which completes the marriage process. The Kiddushin ceremony can take place under a chuppah, or wedding canopy, and is often accompanied by traditional songs and celebrations, reflecting the joy of the occasion.
