Od Yishama is the traditional song for a beautiful tradition. The bridegroom is escorted by men standing shoulder to shoulder to shoulder clapping and chanting a joyous melody, as he prepares to see his bride for the first time on their wedding day.
READ THE BACK STORY
Od Yishama B’arei Yehudah
U’vechutzot Yerushalayim
Kol Sason V’kol Simcha Kol Chatan V’kol Kallah
It will yet be heard in the cities of Judah
And in the parks of Jerusalem
The sound of joy and the sound of gladness
Voice of the groom and voice of the bride
עוד ישמע בערי יהודה
ובחוצות ירושלים
קול ששון וקול שמחה
קול חתן וקול כלה
