Are we “Jewish enough”? What's an interfaith wedding?

I am happy to officiate interfaith weddings and weddings for Jews of every background! The two most important things I look for when deciding whether to work with a couple are:

  1. Are both of you excited to marry one another? Super, super excited?!
  2. Are both of you—whether Jewish or not—eager to incorporate Jewish tradition into your wedding ceremony?

If the answer to those questions is yes, I will be delighted and honored to celebrate with you!

Are we “Jewish enough”?

You do not need to celebrate all of the Jewish holidays to have a Jewish wedding, and it doesn’t matter when you were last in a synagogue. You can have a Jewish wedding whether or not you had a bat/bar mitzvah! If you are interested in Jewish traditions being part of your wedding day, I would love to speak with you and explore how to make that possible!

💙 LGBTQIA+

I joyfully work with couples of every background, gender identity, and orientation. I am dedicated to creating meaningful ceremonies for all couples.

What’s an interfaith wedding?

Interfaith weddings can mean many things! Some couples I work with include one Jewish partner and one partner who does not currently practice a religion. For other couples, one partner might be Jewish while the other is connected to their own religion. I am happy to include traditions from other religions in the wedding ceremony, whether in the form of readings or other rituals. It’s important to me that both partners—Jewish or not—feel comfortable and have a sense of ownership over the traditions in your ceremony.

Co-officiating

I’m open to co-officiating with another clergy person or a friend-officiant. If you’d like to have a second officiant, let’s have a conversation to explore what that would look like!
