Chuppah Glass for Breaking - Wedding by Gary Rosenthal

You only get ONE glass and you don't get to pick the colour but that's the only complaint I have. It worked great! It takes a little dexterity to wrap the glass in the linen and get it back into the pouch but you don't have to worry about getting poked after that. Great product.

So I married a Jewish girl and I needed one of these. I tried to crush it at the end of the ceremony, and maybe this is because I'm not Jewish, but the bag tore and the glass shot out, unbroken. "Sorry! I'm not Jewish!" I shouted to the assembled crowd, to many laughs. My officiant and I shoved it back in the bag, and my new wife and I pressed down hard together, and the glass went to pieces. The best part? My photographer got an action shot of the glass pirouetting through the air!!They could've built the bag a little better, but whatever. That action shot was worth it! :)Here's to a lifetime of happiness!

My wedding went even better than I expected. The glass break worked easily on the first try and it was beautiful as-delivered. The glass was broken into a million pieces. Well, I don't know exactly how many pieces but it shattered sufficiently. The noise was quite muffled from being wrapped in the safety cloth and stuffed into a secondary cloth bag. Even though it instantly stomped flat I do not think some in the audience realized it because of how muffled the sound was.Now we just need to decide on making some keepsake from the shards other than the ubiquitous mezuzahs I see most places.

It broke when I stepped on it! No issues. Great product

Blue Chuppah Glass was perfect! No issues/problems at all... The shards were used as part of a beautiful Gary Rosenthal sculpture.

I love the idea of this but it didn't live up to expectations unfortunately. It took two tries to break and once it broke, the glass shattered everywhere despite being in the bag, which is exactly what we were trying to avoid! It was also unclear which color glass you were getting and the one we got would not have been my first choice. We'd still like to do something with the glass we were able to salvage and I still love the idea behind it.

My wife cautioned me by reading a few of the reviews, suggested we use a wine glass/lightbulb instead. I being a macho idiot saw it as a challenge and thought the sound of some thick glass breaking outweighed the risk of needing a couple of tries to get the job done. OKAY so let’s get this straight, the glass is the thickness of a highball/collins glass. If you manage to break it in one stomp, you might be superhuman. We made the mistake of only tying the bag with one knot. After the first missed attempt at breaking it, on second try it shot out at rocket speed, perfectly down the aisle and into our photographers leg about 30 feet away. It made a spectacular sound, an eventful and funny memory but in hindsight it could have SERIOUSLY hurt someone, especially the children in the front row. On third attempt (once back in bag, double knot) I still wasn’t able to break it. Fourth try was a charm. It did indeed break, but with the force necessary to break it, the sound of the glass was overtaken by the sound of my foot slamming on the wood floor as if I was trying to literally break the floor beneath it. The bag was torn from the thick glass shards, and sadly because of it, we didn’t take it home. Another moment of hindsight, I’m lucky it didn’t stab me in the foot through the cushioned soles of my shoes. This thing is entirely too thick to be used for this purpose.

Came very quickly and was very nicely packaged for safety. Class is much thicker than I thought and has quite a nice color. Very pleased with this purchase
