Like a bride adorning herself for her groom, the moedim have been adorned over the millennia with various traditions and customs that reveal a love of G-d and His ways.
These traditions also show us humanity's growing and changing understanding of the Scriptures across cultures and across generations.
Just as the moedim picture Messiah, the bridegroom, so these traditions reveal glimpses of the bride and how she has beautified the special times she has with the Most High.
