The Hasidic Marriage As has been the tradition for many years, a marriage has been arranged for a young Hasidic couple. Unfortunately the young man has never been briefed on the whys and how-to's of love-making.
The wedding takes place and the young couple find themselves in bed, ready to consummate the marriage. The young guy says to his bride, "I've never done this before. I'm not really sure what to do!!"
His young bride responds in a reassuring way that she will guide him through the process. She says, "remove your garments"
The husband complies. "No" she says, "all of them, not just your tzitzis". A little embarrased, the husband complies. She says "OK, now you need to lie right on top of me" "Naked?" he asks. "Yes" she says. So he climbs on to her, but just lies there.
"Now" she says, put it inside me" "You mean my .....?" "Yes!" He does so, but is still embarrassed and just lies there on top of her doing nothing, rigid in more ways than one.
Finally after several minutes of just lying there, the bride gets an idea.
"Now," she says, "Daven!!!!" |
