The practice of honoring members of a congregation by designating them as Hatan or Kallah Torah (Bridegroom or Bride of the Torah) and Hatan or Kallah Bereshith (Bridegroom or Bride of the Beginning) stems from medieval Judaism. The custom of honoring a Hatan or Kallah Maftir (Bridegroom or Bride of the Prophetic Message) was also established to honor an outstanding individual for conspicuous services rendered to the Jewish community or the Synagogue. Please join us and the honorees (TBA) for this luncheon.
