A chuppah is a traditional Jewish wedding canopy that symbolizes the home the couple will build together. It is typically made of a cloth or fabric draped over four poles and is often adorned with flowers or other decorations. The chuppah is an important part of the wedding ceremony, representing the couple's new life and commitment to each other. During the ceremony, the couple stands under the chuppah while the officiant, often a rabbi, leads the proceedings. The chuppah serves as a sacred space, signifying the couple's union and the presence of the Jewish community supporting them.
