Wedding Customs
All marriages between Jews in Israel are registered with the Chief Rabbinate, and the ceremony follows Traditional Jewish practice. Civil ceremonies are not performed in Israel, although a growing number of secular couples circumvent this by traveling to nearby locations such as Cyprus. While some Jews in Israel have adopted Western styles of dress, traditional clothing and jewelry are sometimes brought out for pre-wedding rituals as well as Henna. According to the Bible and Historians, Henna is believed to have been practiced in the Ancient Kingdom of Israel.
