In Jewish tradition, a Torah is welcomed to the community as a new bride and groom are celebrated by their families and friends. The Torah is introduced under a traditional canopy (Chupah) and is accompanied by music and festivities. Every community member is an integral part of the celebration - just as a family member is to a wedding.
