One of the most popular wedding songs in the Jewish-Babylonian tradition. While not sung as part of the wedding ceremony itself, it may be performed in honour of the groom and the bride at celebrations for their engagement, or at synagogue, when the groom is called up to read the portion from the torah (Pentateuch) scroll on Sabbaths immediately before and after the wedding—it is customary to shower him with sweets and for women to emit high pitched ululations as he makes his way to the podium. The hymn may also be sung during the seven nights of blessings, shébac bérakhoth, and festive meals following the wedding.
