From the beginning of the play:
A Prayer Shawl
Keeping one's head covered
The Papa as final family arbiter
Hebrew Shule at age three
The Matchmaker
Observing the Sabbath
The Chupa (Wedding Canopy)
The breaking of the glass at the conclusion of the Wedding
The hoisting of the bride and groom in chairs
The Bottle Dance
And that is just in Act 1

Cider nailed it! Give him best answer!
I've done the show and I don't remember the age 3 thing, what is that? Is that when they start Hebrew school? Also I remember having to kiss something in the doorway as you enter and leave the house. I forget what that's called. (It's getting late, I think this is my last q of the night!) The Papa has the final say on who the daughter marries. Aside from what Cider said I don't remember what else. Make sure the bottle dance was Jewish... I thought it was Russian.

Contact a synagogue -- or a Jewish theatre company.
Or just do some online research. Wikipedia probably has an article about it.
