The married couple dances the traditional wedding dance-the Hora-over a colorful jerusalem. Angels play music at the bottom of the Ketubah amongst music notes hidden in the stained glass. Two additional pains of stained glass highlight the Ketubah text. This stained glass shows day and night, sun and moon representing the fluidity of life, two different symbols that require both to achieve fulfillment. The glass also is adorned with the blessing of the wine, chai, several Jewish stars, the Hebrew letter "shin"-meaning shadai-g-d, a chemsa-the hand of g-d. There are 18 small hearts found in this Ketubah-chai or life. The phrase "ani l'dodi v'dodi li," which means "I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine." is written at the top.
