About the music
A Jewish wedding has a soundtrack for every moment. The badeken and the walk to the chuppah call for Mi Adir, Erev Shel Shoshanim or a slow Carlebach niggun; under the chuppah, Mi Bon Siach and the Sheva Brachot melodies; and the moment the glass breaks, Od Yishama and Siman Tov U'Mazel Tov launch the dancing. The dance sets run for hours — Asher Bara, Kol Sason, Yasis Alayich, Keitzad M'rakdin, Hava Nagila, the mezinke for a youngest child — and the wedding bands of Brooklyn, Lakewood and Jerusalem keep writing new ones.
The Kol Yehudim Show plays the wedding repertoire every week: the classic chuppah songs, the Chassidic dance hits, and the new simcha singles, with the full song list on the site for anyone planning their own.
