Praising God and Breaking Stuff

Just a stub for now:

What is it about destruction in Jewish ritual?

-Breaking the glass at a wedding
-Breaking the middle matzah
-Breaking fasts at many points during the year
-Bris

Dig farther back and there's animal sacrifice; a burnt sacrifice not only takes the life but also destroys the flesh.
