Reply To: Bas Mitzvah Ceremonies – Rav Moshe's psak

There have been some references made in this thread to ~znius” at a wedding, quoting sukkah 49B. May I just point out that, if you check the actual gemoro and rashi, it does not mean at all that a wedding has to be made quietly- quite the contrary , the gemoro brackets it with “halvoyas hames”- a funeral, and it is clear that at a funeral, the more people the better.And so is this the case with a wedding too- the more the better- as it is a big mitzvah. what the gemoro means-check rashi -is that you should not conduct yourself “bekalus rosh” with licentiousness and loose behavior.It has precious little to do with the actual size of the mesamchim.
