In traditional Jewish practice, the bride and groom do not see each other for several days before the wedding, often up to a week. This space is intentional, it creates longing, renewal, and emotional clarity, so that when they meet again under the chuppah, the relationship feels fresh and deeply present. Judaism teaches that anticipation strengthens connection. Distance, when purposeful, turns reunion into something sacred. Comment “course” and I’ll send you a link to my Introduction to Judaism
