The lesson begins by recapping on the shared values of marriage, and then begins to explore these through
the Jewish ceremony. The main teaching point of this lesson is how a wedding ceremony is a public display
of a personal decision. By sharing their intentions and beliefs with their friends and family, believers have
the support to do what they believe is right, even when things are tough.
The lesson gives people the opportunity to draw parallels with their own public lives and the values which
they demonstrate.
Before teaching the lesson, you will need to find a video of a Jewish wedding ceremony. Ensure that you
have had a chance to watch the video and that all equipment is working correctly
Learning objective

and the public ceremony that celebrates this.
Success criteria
Learning about:
• Pupils will know some key features of Jewish
wedding ceremonies.
Learning from:

of making vows in public and what making them
says about the decisions the believer has made.
