Want to sing and dance with us? We're thrilled to have booked Berach Orchestra to play at our wedding. Here are a few songs/melodies that you'll hear over and over again at our wedding. 


This first one is a niggun, a word-less melody, that you'll hear over and over again at the wedding. We'll all sing it together between each of the Sheva Brachot (seven wedding blessings), under the chuppah and after dinner. There are no words, so it is super-easy to learn!
To listen to the Sheva Brachot sung with the words check out this website. Click on the "Sephardi Pronunciation" to hear the version we'll sing at our wedding. 

There are many different tunes used to sing the song "Od Yeshama", but if you hit play below, you'll watch/hear Rachel's favorite one. You'll sing at the engagement parties. You'll sing this this while dancing Josh in to see Rachel for the first time at the wedding. You'll burst into song when Josh smashes the glass under the chuppah. You'll dance to this at the reception. Basically, we sing this at almost every opportunity to express our joy for the bride and groom!

Lyrics:
Od yishama b'arey Yehuda

Uv'khutzot Yerushalayim

Kol sason v'kol simcha

Kol khatan v'kol kala


Translation:
Yet will be heard in the Mountains of Judea
And the squares of Jerusalem
The sound of joy and happiness
Of grooms and brides


P.S. This is a great dancing scene too - ours will be just like that... except men and women will be dancing together!
