Where does the custom that the Kallah circles the chattan come from?

May 2, 2013 11:13 pm at 11:13 pm #950244lesschumrasParticipantWhat I find funny is the origin of the minhag of the mothers walking around. It started about 25 years ago. Kallas who had long trains needed someone to carry it so it wouldn’t get entangled. So her mother would carry it. Soon you saw the chasans’ mother walking too. Now you see both mothers walk even when there is no train
May 3, 2013 12:56 am at 12:56 am #950245HaLeiViParticipantWhat is even funnier, is that before 100 years ago, some also had the Minhag that the fathers also went around. Perhaps the mothers’ gowns were too long as well. But anyhow, when you saw that the mother held the train that was a second bird, not the reason.

May 3, 2013 12:46 pm at 12:46 pm #950249popa_bar_abbaParticipantSorry, I’m slow. It’s just that I’m used to seeing it spelled “sheitel”, so I got thrown off. But I suppose you can spell it like you did also.
May 3, 2013 1:44 pm at 1:44 pm #950250HaLeiViParticipantSome attribute it to the Gemara in Yevamos 62b, Whoever is without a wife is without Simcha, Bracha, and Tova. In Maarav they said, he is without Choma (wall) and without Torah.
But I don’t know when it started.
