Reply To: Is “shushing” the “shusher” nekama?

Anon Jew, You compare talking in shul to talking during chuppahs (you say it is “almost as bad”)?!

Is there an issur of talking during chuppah?

It is “at most” derech eretz – a guest should not to be disruptive of his host’s affair by making noise of chatter! There is a mitzvah to hear the brochos and answer Amen (which applies equally when you are at the zoo and someone makes a brocha on icecream – cholov yisroel of course).

But what’s the chiyuv to hear each word of the kesuba? (which is read primarily to make a hefsek between airusin and nisuin).

The kesuba is not like Megilas Esther! If you miss a few words of the kesuba, it’s ok.

Are you a shusher at chuppahs?
