A glass is now placed on the floor, and the chatanshatters it with his foot. This act serves as an expression of sadness at the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem, and identifies the couple with the spiritual and national destiny of the Jewish people. A Jew, even at the moment of greatest rejoicing, is always mindful of the Psalmist's injunction to set Jerusalem above his highest joy.

(In Israel, the glass is broken earlier, prior to the reading of the Ketubah.)

This marks the conclusion of the ceremony. With shouts of Mazel Tov, the chatan and kallah are then given an enthusiastic reception from the guests as they leave the chupah together and head toward the Yichud room, their temporary private chamber.

(In Jest it is often said that it is the last time the groom gets to put his foot down!)

Are you to have bread and wine on the Sabbath day?

A Jew is to have bread with every meal, if he can afford it, and to begin the meal by reciting a blessing in gratitude to the one who makes it possible for him to have the bread. Whatever the eating habits of the Jew may be, the three Sabbath meals should be the best, even if they can only be slightly better than the others. Wine is a most appropriate embellishment for a Sabbath meal, and in fact the Sabbath dinner and lunch ideally should both begin with blessings over wine, in gratitude to the one who makes it possible for the Jew to have the wine.

What is the difference between kosher wine and non kosher wine?

Kosher preparation. The main consideration in kosher food is that all the ingredients must be kosher, and the machinery that the food is processed on should not have been used to make non-kosher foods. Wine is different than food because of a sensitive historical situation. Because idolators used to offer wine to their idols, kosher wine must be protected under the supervision of a religious Jew or certifying agency. Today, the way you can be sure that wine or processed foods are kosher is that they have the symbol of a kosher certifying agency.
