Breaking Glass for Groom to break during Jewish Wedding Ceremony

Every Jewish Wedding Ceremony, traditional, not so traditional, interfaith needs a breaking glass for the groom to break with his foot at the conclusion of the Jewish ceremony.

Breaking Glass offers two meanings...

It reminds us of the destruction of the Holy Temple.
The breaking of the glass also is a warning of the frailty of a marriage.

That sometimes a single thoughtless act, breech of trust, or infidelity can damage a marriage in ways that are very difficult to undo - just as it would be so difficult to undo the breaking of this glass. Knowing that this marriage is permanent, the bride and groom should strive to show each other the love and respect befitting their spouse and love of their life.

Once the glass is broken, the guests rejoice, 'Mazel Tov!'

After many requests, "where can I purchase the breaking glass for my ceremony?". As I proceeded to do online research for reputable Judaica retailers, I too had difficulty and could now understand. With that research I came upon a reputable online retailer that offered various styles and colors including from well known Jewish artists. Of course, if you have a Judaica retailer nearby where you live, those retailers are a good resource as well.

All the breaking glass styles includes a pull string bag. The bag offers dual purpose; for the safety of the groom's foot and the glass shardz becomes a keepsake for the wedding couple. The shardz of glass can be placed in a piece of Judaica art and displayed in the bride and groom’s home. It is tradition to own beautiful pieces of Judaica and displayed in our homes.

Reminder:
Below are samples of the breaking glass product sold on a reputable Judaica retailer's web site. Each sample is linked to that web site and prices may have changed. Do take a look if you are need for your wedding ceremony.
