Pole-less Chuppah

Hi,

Although the classic definition of a wedding "chuppah" includes a covering material supported by poles, in the absence of poles one may have people hold the cover directly. Normally, though, one should follow the customary construction, as described in Rama Even haEzer 55:1.

(Rav Moshe Feinstein, Igrot Moshe Orach Chaim 4:70:7)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
