Best Answer

The most important Jewish ceremonies, such as the festivals, are commanded in the Torah (see for example Leviticus ch.23). Other ceremonies are traditions stated in the Talmud (such as the three Sabbath meals), or are customs which were created with the intention of beautifying the observance of the Torah's commands. An example would be the chuppah (canopy) at Jewish weddings.
