Kiddushin- betrothal is commitment, Acknowledgement of a permanent union. Its responsibility is fulfillment Through gift, document, intimate union.
The covenant is attested by two witnesses; As the pact between G-d and Israel, Is a sacred bond, bound by promise, As is witnessed by both heaven and earth.
