Sheva Brachos

Celebrations

Sheva Brachot, literally "the seven blessings" also known as birkot Nesuim, "the wedding blessings" in Halakha (Jewish religious law) are blessings that are recited for the bride and the groom in a Jewish Wedding ceremony under the chupah over a second cup of wine (called the Cup of Blessing).

These blessing are also recited as part of the festive meals that continue for a week after the wedding. They are said over a cup of wine after the Birkat Hamazon (Grace After Meals). It is a common custom for these blessing to be divided among honored guests. If multiple people say the blessings, the cup is passed to the person saying each blessing.
