Photographer’s Note

A chuppah (Hebrew: חוּפָּה‎) ( is a canopy traditionally used in Jewish weddings. It consists of a cloth or sheet, sometimes a tallit, stretched or supported over four poles, or sometimes carried by attendants to the ceremony.
A chuppah symbolizes the home the new-married couple will build together.
Here: under the cover of chuppa "new-born" Sefer Torah is transported from Isaak's Synagogue (Lubavitch residence) to the Remuh Synagogue in Cracow. Makes that happy ceremony even more symbolic and sacred .
