A chuppah (Hebrew: חֻפָּה, romanized: ḥuppā, lit. 'canopy, covering', Yiddish: חֻפָּה, romanized: khupe~khipe)[lower-alpha 1] is a canopy under which a Jewish couple stand during their wedding ceremony. It consists of a cloth or sheet, sometimes a tallit, stretched or supported over four poles, or sometimes manually held up by attendants to the ceremony. A chuppah symbolizes the home that the couple will build together.
In a more general sense, chuppah refers to the method by which nessuin, the second stage of a Jewish wedding, is accomplished. According to some opinions, it is accomplished by the couple standing under the canopy along with the rabbi who weds them; however, there are other views.[1][2]
