Getting Married
Getting Married
In Judaism, a wedding is not simply a joining of two lives. A Jewish wedding is called Kiddushin—to make a relationship holy. Marriage is one of the most important moments in our lives. Companionship, commitment, and love are one of life’s great gifts.
Couples seeking a Jewish wedding work with the Rabbi to create a unique ceremony. These meetings provide the opportunity for the Rabbi to get to know the couple, as well as provide pre-marital counseling as requested. Meetings can be in person or online.
While the Rabbi encourages couples to incorporate traditional Jewish wedding customs such as Ketubah, Chuppah, Sheva Brachot (The Seven Blessings), and more into their ceremony, every ceremony is custom tailored to contain the rubrics the couple finds most meaningful.
In most instances, the Rabbi will officiate at Jewish weddings for interfaith and same sex couples.
