Interfaith Couples

Interfaith Couples, Interfaith Jewish Wedding

Interfaith couples, couples even of the same faith, they are all mixed marriages.

Interfaith Couples
The Angel Orensanz Center in NYC in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. It was originally built as a synagogue. A congregation is still connected to this temple.

 

Having grown up in different circumstances challenges them to find common ground and agreements with which both partners can live together as one couple in one household.

Regardless, marriage takes work and with practice, a couple will be in sync with each other. When that happens, all is good. The concept and institution of marriage assume a much greater and more profound significance.

Clergy refusing to be at a wedding of a couple willing to commit to a Jewish future and home will not keep them from getting married but it may push them away from Jewish life because of this rejection. That would serve none of us well. It is a fact, we welcome our married interfaith couples into our congregations with open arms, but our Rabbis (not all), will not marry them.

Our future is better served by opening our arms rather than slamming our doors. When two people have fallen in love, the rabbis need to do everything possible to help them be part of the Jewish community.

A nurturing love relationship is a gift of God, deserving of acknowledgment and blessing.

Will, you Co-Officiate with a Minister, Priest, or Deacon?
I do understand couples wish to have equal representation at their ceremonies.  At the present time, and after co-officiating a few ceremonies, I have decided to no longer offer this service.

Will you include some wedding customs from other cultures?
Yes! I have the experience of intertwining wedding customs from other cultures. They are often similar to the Jewish Wedding Customs and compliment each other.

Will you blend non-Jewish customs in our ceremony?
The Jewish Wedding Rabbi receives this question often and the answer is yes, within reason.
The following are optional and have been in the Jewish wedding ceremony order and text.
Blending a Unity Candle or Unity Sand, and Readings;

Are you sure, my future wife/husband is not Jewish?
Yes!  I support all couple’s choices.
