"L'Chayim" - Granddaughters Engagement (Jewish Life Series)
Oct 8, 2017 16:49:33 #
It is tradition and customary that when 2 families are agreed that their children will marry that the engagement is finalized and formalized over a toast which is called a L'chayim (to life). It has become my personal custom to give each granddaughter an expensive bottle of whiskey on their 18th birthday with the provision that they open it and use it to make the L'Chayim toast on the night of their engagement. Below are some photos of my granddaughter Miriam and her groom Yossi holding the bottle of Mortlach Old and Rare Single Malt Scotch which was used for the toast.
The second photo is at the public engagement party where the mothers of the bride and groom prepare to break a traditional plate after the "Tenoyim" (prenuptial agreement) is read aloud.
Third photo is of the bride and groom displaying the traditional gifts they have exchanged, an engagement ring and gold wristwatch.
