Bride and groom: a piece of the "Hupa".

A piece of the "Hupa".

Each one will draw something, anything, on a square piece of cloth. All the pieces will be sewed together by Kim in order to make the "Hupa" ... Here is my contribution to Roy and Kim's "Hupa".

For thoses who asked, I found a few basic words on the significance of a "Hupa" in jewish weddings: The wedding ceremony is celebrated under the Houpa, a symbol of home that the couple must build and share. It is open on all sides, in the same way as was the tent of Abraham and Sarah, to be able to offer hospitality to friends and family members without any restrictions.

The Houpa traditionally held on the outside, under the stars, as a sign of the blessing that God made to the patriarch Abraham, promising him that his descendants will be "as numerous as the stars of heaven."
