A brother tells me that the reason people make fun of the chasan during this time is because people are jealous. So they make fun of the chasan to prevent the ayin hara.
Is this the real reason?
I never heard anyone make hurtful jokes at any Sheva Brochos. And I’ve been to many.
Chassidim have their own shulchan aruch….
Need I say more?
I’m chassidish and I’ve been to many sheva brachos. I’ve never heard anything but praise for the chassan, kallah and their respective families. Sometimes humorous anecdotes are mentioned, but never anything to bring down the chassan.
Please explain how chassidim come into play?
I’m on the ladies’ side, maybe I missed it.
The speakers whisper so low that those on the other side of the mechitza cannot hear them? What made you think the men were cracking jokes at the expense of the choson?
Jokes at the aufruf is a regular thing, in my experience. But its mainly between a guy and his close friends….and whichever of the parents’ friends are in the room.
