Jewish Music: Beyond Hava Nagilah
An Orthodox Perspective by Rivka C. Berman

Wedding music is mood music. Meaningful Jewish music at the ceremony and during the reception reflect the spiritual heights of the day.

Music scores high marks on the spirituality scale. Levites would sing and play musical instruments to accompany the various services in the Beit Hamikdash, the ancient Holy Temple in Jerusalem. One of the Hebrew words for song is zemer. In other settings, zemer refers to pruning. A holy song has the ability to remove the dead branches of the soul, enabling the vibrant inner core to flourish. From a mystical perspective, every composer invests his or her spirit into each song. Whenever a song is played, the listener bonds with the composer’s soul. Especially at a wedding, the music should be carefully chosen.

There is a list of wedding song favorites which include:
 
w "Siman Tov U'Mazal Tov"  - Good Omen, Good Luck
 
w "Od Yishama Be'Arei Yehuda" - It will be heard in the Cities of Judea
 
w "Mezinka Dance" - Dance with the youngest child
