Golden Soup (Yehid)
===============================================================
"EATING THE GOLDEN SOUP"
{THE BRIDE AND GROOM MUST THEN GO INTO A ROOM ALONE.
By custom, they should be escorted on their way with singing anddancing.


This is apparently as a double-surety that they have been dulymarried.  By Talmud, a women is acquired by intercourse (ie, if aman sleeps with a virgin, he is deemed to have married her),and/or by a gift {if a woman accepts a gift of significant valuefrom a man, she is deemed to have married him}.  So legally, whenbride and groom spend time alone in a closed room, they are deemedto have had sex, and so must be deemed married.
In tradition, what the bride and groom in fact are expected to dois to share a bowl of soup together, and then return to thewedding feast, which by then has been largely devoured by theguests.  When they return they are welcomed back, and manyspeeches are teachings are given in their honor.

THE BRIDE AND GROOM ARE ALONE 
{N.B.:  It may be that it is not necessary that they go into aroom together alone -- it may be that in old days the chuppa wasin effect a tent, and the sides could then be let down and thenthey could be alone there.  For so it seems from the following: --sa}


	We need someone to untie the chupah fast. And I hate to saybad things, besides Chosan and Kallah, all of us are leaving thechupah because right now Chosan and Kallah have to be just alonewith the One, the Only One.  Chosan and Kallah, stand in themiddle.  Chosan and Kallah, if there is one thing in the worldthat you haven't prayed for yet, this is your chance.  So I wantyou to pray for all of us, for all our children, for all ofIsrael.  For the soldiers in the north.  I want you to pray for the soldiers, really they shouldn't have to wear guns anymore. That our holy soldiers should walk around with Gemoras, withChumashim, with a Tehillim.  
	Mordechala, mamash, rebuild the Holy Temple.  Mazel Tov!!!!!                                                                     {N.B.:  R. Shlomo often sang for the IDF soldiers, in wartime aswell as peacetime.  During the 1982 war against the PLO inLebanaon he went to LEbananon; during the (1973, I think) Sinaicampaign he went to the Sinai.}

THE BRIDE AND GROOM GO ALONE TO A ROOM ("THE GOLDEN SOUP")
< allen

	And then the bride and the groom have to go alone to thehouse, give them a chance for a few minutes.  Then you come backand we'll dance with them more.  
================================================================

<joshu

	Right now, Chasan and Kallah gave us the privilege to be withthem for so long.  But right now, Chasan and Kallah mamash have tobe alone so I want you to make a gevaldt highway between here andheaven and earth. I want Chasan and Kallah to walk out, theirparents behind them and the two witnesses and mamash we walk.  Webless you every step of your life, you should always be together. Always, always.  

And we ask the holy parents and the witnesses to walk behind them. And then just remember all the people that want to wish you MazelTov, try to come back eventually!!

< y-t

	We need the Adim to walk them to Yichud.  Adim! Adim!                                                                             {It is legally required that the witnesses witness that theyenter an enclosed area together(a room?  Will the chuppa dolegally if it is let down around them? }                           ===============================================================

YEHID: THE BRIDE AND GROOM GO ALONE TO A ROOM:  Light, taste,smell, and Meshiach.  

	There is a possuk: 
    
        Ve nisgav Hashem levado beyom hahoo, 
{ _________ H' _______ in that 'day'    
         beyom hahoo yeeye Hashem ehad veshmo ehad.

{from the alenu:  `in that `day' the Divine Being will be Unityand the Divine 'Name' unity.' }

	You know when chosen and callah are alone, G-d gives
them a little taste, how beautiful it will be on that great
day when, mamish, there will be nothing but G-d and the whole
world will be One.  We bless you that your house should be
filled with Messiah-teis, the light of Messiah, and the
smell (scent)  of Messiah. 

	Everybody knows Avraham Avinu brought down G-d's light.  

	Yitzhak says 
                    ve asay li metamim.   
Yitzhak brought down a taste by Shabbos. 

	It says: 
              toama chayim zacah,
and Yaacov brought down Mashiach.. 
                 Veyaar et reyach .....
Yaacov Avinu brought down the smell.  

	And we bless you, Your children should have light and tasteand smell, and above all we bless you that the light of Chanukah - the light which is deeper than light, which is deeper thantaste, and that awesome light which is even deeper than smell --should be with you.  

	The holy Rizoner had a beautiful palace and in one wing therewhere thirteen rooms and people had permmission to walk intotwelve rooms, but the thirteenth room nobody was permitted to gothere.  And the Holy Rizoner says that when Mashiach is coming,he'll go from one room to the other, but then in the thirteenth
room, that will his hitbodedute shtibel.  I don"t know where thatthirteenth room is, but I bless you, let it be your house.  

	You know I'm thinking a lot of times when mashiach is cominghe has nowhere to go.
	Not only has he very few people he can talk to, there are
very few houses Meshiach can come in and feel at home.  I blessyou let it be your house, let it be our house, let it be our
children and everybody knows tomorrow  ...... 
{tape breaks here -- EW}
Singing.  Mazel Tov.  Mazel Tov.
