Discover the beauty of the “Mitzvah Tantz”, a cherished tradition in Jewish weddings that takes place towards the end of the celebration. This special ritual involves a ‘Badchan’, a master of ceremonies and poet, who honors close family members with heartfelt songs, poetry, and reflections.

The Mitzvah Tantz typically includes a series of dances where family members are called up by the Badchan to join the bride on the dance floor. These moments are deeply emotional and symbolic, as the Badchan weaves stirring words about the family’s past, cherished memories, and the legacy of ancestors. Each dance is a celebration of the family’s history and the special bond they share.

In this video, watch as Motty Ilowitz weaves a tapestry of emotion and nostalgia, bringing the father and bride together in a dance that symbolizes the deep bond between them. This dance is not just a celebration of the parents relationship, but also a beautiful tribute to the family’s history.
