OUR WEDDING CANOPY
Israel
Pilgrimage—2006
There was a
grass-roofed shelter
along the Sea
of Galilee
which
reminded me of a succah
which
reminded me of God’s covering over me
which
reminded me of the blue and white tallit
I bought
yesterday in Tiberias
Once I read
an article in The Record
that stated
being wrapped in a tallit
is like
getting a hug from God
a statement
that made me yearn
for a prayer shawl
of my own
The very day
after the article appeared
Rabbi
Jonathan revealed
the newly
designed Mizoram tallit to our congregation
with its
colorful “Lamb within a Star of David” logo
representing Yeshua,
our Jewish Messiah—
I gasped, when
I saw it, assuming
one would be
mine, my tallit, my hug from God
however, they
were only presented to the pastors
which brings
me to my marriage to Bob
just sixteen
days ago
and that
Pastor Steven graciously offered
to lend us
his tallit to use as our wedding canopy
He gave us
his traditional blue and white striped shawl
but Rabbi
Jonathan said we would need a larger one
so Pastor
Steven lent us his personal Mizoram tallit—
the very
shawl that caused me to gasp, so long ago
Four
ministers held up the corners of the prayer shawl
creating a fringed
huppah over our heads
So, Bob and I
stood under the covering of the Lamb
as we
exchanged our marriage vows
At the
conclusion of the ceremony
Rabbi
Jonathan draped the shawl over our shoulders
wrapping us in
a Heavenly hug on our holy wedding day
