Wedding Rabbi
[chanting] Blessed are you, Lord our God, Ruler of the universe, Who sanctified us with His commandments, And commanded us, With regards to sexual relations, Who forbids us those, Who are merely betrothed, And permits us those, Who are fully married, Under the nuptial canopy, And with ritual consecration, Blessed are you, Lord, Who sanctifies His people Israel...

Khonen's Friend
You are speaking sin! Khonen, Khonen, you're playing into Satan's hands.
Chanan ben Nisan
So what if I am? In every sin there is holiness.
Khonen's Friend
Holiness in sin? How is that possible?
Chanan ben Nisan
All of God's creation has within it a spark of holiness.
Khonen's Friend
Sin is the creation of the other side, not of God.
Chanan ben Nisan
And who created the other side? Also God! And once you say it's a side of God, it must be holy too!

Sender Brynicer ben Henie
You've given up on the Talmud and turned to Kabbalah instead. Why?
Chanan ben Nisan
The Talmud is cold and dry. So are the commentaries. But the Kabbalah pulls the soul free of the earth. It uplifts man into the highest spheres.
Sender Brynicer ben Henie
There's great danger in reaching for such heights, for one can easily fall into the abyss.

[singing]
There's a wagon in the forest, And the land's in bloom, A girl is sitting in her room, With her face to the wall, Tell me, maiden, your desire, It's a a pity, every tear of yours, The one who has departed, Shall return no more, I fear...

Meszulach - the messenger
The souls of the dead return to the world and wander about before they receive purification. Sinful souls are reincarnated as animals, fish and plants. And sometimes it happens that a wandering soul enters the foreign, living body of one whom they once loved. This is a dybbuk.

Sender Brynicer ben Henie
Go, my child, to your mother's grave. Shed all your tears there and invite her to the wedding. Tell her that I want her to accompany me in leading my child to the canopy. Tell her I kept my promise to raise you as an honest and pious Jewish girl. Now I've provided you with a husband, learned and God-fearing.

Rabbi Ezeriel ben Hodos
All the world. It's a blind world. Blind sheep following a blind shepherd. If they were not blind, they would not come to me, but to "Him," who can say "I" - the only "I" in the world.

Do you understand me? A window is made of glass and a mirror is made of glass. But the glass of the mirror is covered with a little silver. And as soon as someone is covered with silver, they stop seeing people and start seeing only themselves.

Immediately after the ceremony.
Rabbi Ezeriel ben Hodos
That's not what I'm asking. What caused the misfortune? A worm can enter a fruit only when it begins to rot.

Chanan ben Nisan
Which sin is the most powerful of all, the hardest to conquer? Is it not in fact the sin of lust for a woman? Isn't it?
Khonen's Friend
Yes.
Chanan ben Nisan
And if this sin is cleansed in a great flame, the greatest uncleanliness turns into highest holiness. It becomes "The Song of Songs!"
