THE CHUPPA
KAREN GRAFFEO
y friend Karen has had us all make a chuppa. She
arrived from America with yards of white silk which we cut out
on the workroom table, made in 1860 from the cypress trees in
this 'English' Cemetery. I printed out in Kelt font the names
of the bride and groom's ancestors and we penciled these
through the cloth. Then gave the pieces to the Rom in Florence
to embroider with gold thread, paying them for their work.
These Rom are Muslim from Kosovo. So my friend asked the bride
if this was all right. Her reply, 'I guess this is world
peace'! Then three ancestral wedding dresses were added to the
whole, knitting earth and sky, death and life, woman and man,
Jew, Christian, Muslim, past and future, together as one
'Peace'. Shalom.
