Taking Extra Kipot At Wedding |

Written by Rabbi Eli Mansour

Q: Can a guest at a Bar-Mitsvah or a wedding take extra kippot or birkat hamazon books home for other friends and family that were not at the wedding?
Answer: It is forbidden for a wedding guest to take home an extra Birkat Ha'mazon card or Kippot for his friends of family without receiving permission from the host. Similarly, a wedding guest may not take some food home with him from the affair for his children. Since the host provided the food to be eaten at the celebration, one is not entitled to bring home food without the host's permission, or even if it can be assumed that the host doesn't mind.

If the guests take them home or give them to others, every time the kippa or bencher is used, it is a mitzvah, and doesn't the host get some merit from contributing to the completion of this mitzvah? If this is true, then wouldn't the host WANT people to take all of the kippot and benchers, hoping that guests and their friends will use them? In that case, isn't the host giving IMPLICIT permission to the guests to take them home? Just curious...
