The Sheva Brachot actually means “seven blessings” which are recited at the wedding ceremony under the Chuppah by a rabbi. "marriage was perceived by the rabbis as connecting with the proper 'state of nature', man and woman being together like Adam and Eve". The seven blessings exclude love. The main focus of marriage in Jewish religion is to continue God's process of creation rather than love. The seven blessings are celebrated seven days after the wedding, typically served as an elegant meal and festive get together with friends. In order to give a blessing every night there must be a new person present who was not present the previous night of blessing. However if the couple gets married during Shabba “On Shabbat, the blessings are recited even if everyone has been present before, because the Sabbath itself is considered a new person.”. It is mandatory that there must be a minimum of ten men at every Sheva Brachot. When the meal is ended for the night two cups of wine are poured, one for the bride, and the other for the groom. Then the leader of the Grace After Meals recites prayers from the Torah while holding the first glass of wine. Now the Sheva Brachot blessings themselves occur. Six men are invited to recite a blessing while holding the second glass of wine and not drinking from it. The leader of the grace meal will then recite the final seventh blessing over the first glass of wine and drinks from it. The two glasses of wine are now mixed together into one that the married couple both drink from now. Nicoleglen (talk) 19:59, 5 May 2020 (UTC)Nicoleglen 5/5/2020
