Ultra Orthodox Jewish wedding that got the world talking[pictures]

Dance for me: The veiled bride arrived in the men's section of the wedding as the male well-wishers, wearing their traditional shtreimel hats, danced to fulfil the Mitzvah tantz part of the wedding, where men and honoured rabbis are invited to dance for the bride


The wedding, between the grandson of the Rabbi of the 
Tzanz Hasidic dynasty and the granddaughter of the
 religious leader of the Toldos Avraham Yitzchak Hasidic
 dynasty, in the central Israeli city of
Netanya involved a
 guest list of thousands, with people lining the streets to 
welcome the bride. 
Inside, a floor-to-ceiling gauze curtain separated men from 
women and male well-wishers dressed all in black wore the
 traditional shtreimel hats.




Spectacle: The men begin the elaborate dance while the bride looks on from behind her full-face veil
The rabbis and the groom dance to fulfil the Mitzvah tantz part of the ceremony as onlookers snap pictures of the wedding

The bride holds a gartel while family members dance and the grandson of the Rabbi of the Tzanz Hasidic dynasty wore a tile-print robe

Separated: Men and boys, including one on his mobile phone, look on as the dancing takes place. Behind the bride women watch, with many sat behind a thin veil
