Melékhet Chlomo - Laws and practical recommendations on the wedding ceremony

Torah-Box Editions is pleased to present the book "Melekhet Shlomo", a summary of laws and practical recommendations on the wedding ceremony.

It often happens that the bride and groom, about to stand under the chuppah, are completely unaware of the procedures and meanings of the various acts and rites they are performing. Due to time constraints, the rabbi officiating the ceremony usually only provides basic instructions, without being able to offer more in-depth explanations of the ceremony he is conducting.

This extremely clear, detailed, and remarkably well-explained work, written by Rabbi David Banino according to the directives of the Rishon LeTzion, Rabbi Shlomo Amar, Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem, covers all the preparations for marriage: from the engagement, through registration with the local rabbinate, to the procedures for writing a Ketubah. Throughout the chapters, which follow the chronological order of events, the following questions are addressed:

What criteria should be used to choose witnesses?
Is it permissible to give a ring to one's fiancé under the chuppah?
What amount of money should be mentioned on the Ketubah?
Ketouba lost, what to do?

Every new home established according to the law of Moses and Israel is a prelude to the construction of the Third Temple, which the entire Jewish people eagerly await. May reading this book contribute to its building!
