Tips On Choosing An Interfaith Wedding Rabbi For Jewish Weddings

By Anthony Barnes


Jewish weddings are best known because of the traditional wedding canopy or chuppah, marriage contract or ketubah, or and the groom is going to break a wine glass since it symbolizes relationship fragility. People who do not belong to the synagogues can still be married by a rabbi. Hiring one will surely make the wedding ceremony memorable and beautiful, regardless of being a traditional or a modern type of a Jewish wedding.

Searching as early as possible. Rabbis usually have a lot of scheduled weddings and some other services, thus, it would be very important to book for your schedule in advance. Through this, you can give the interfaith wedding rabbi enough time to think and will give you time as well to search for another one if ever they cannot handle the schedule anymore.

Decide if there is a need for you to hire for a rabbi. Jewish weddings are really not necessary when talking about the tradition of those people being clergy members. However, the one who conducts the ceremony is needed to be licensed in a state where the couple decides to get married. Another option aside from rabbis are the cantors.

Make sure to choose a rabbi whom you can work and be comfortable with. Choose one whom you think is approachable. There may be times when you and your future spouse also have some additional ideas which you want to incorporate into the ceremony. An example for this would be writing your ketubah text or maybe using a gender sensitive language that will refer to God.

Inquire directly about their fees. If you are choosing one who is not a friend of the family, you will surely be paying a deposit so that their services will be reserved. These fees would most likely cover your meetings with them, advices about the customs of the Jewish, the time being spent when the wedding is officiated, and telephone conversations. Fees of travel arrangements are also included for out of town ceremonies.

Here are some options from where you can be able to search for rabbis. You can approach those who have led some services in a synagogue you attended previously. You may also have some family friends. Recalling those weddings you have attended previously may be done as well. Try to recall if the client was given with a satisfying service or remember what you have observed during the ceremony.

Ask for some recommendations from your friends, families, or other people that you may know. Searching online may also be done. There are a lot of rabbis who do not have any congregational responsibilities and most of them are advertising their availability via online.

There are websites which will be asking you on filling out a request form. After the submission of the request, you will then receive an email which contains both the available rabbis and cantors form your nearby areas. If all of them are not available, the website may be sending you a recommendation of a clergy who can travel to accommodate you.

For those who do not have an internet connection, they may search from a list found on the yellow pages and telephone books. Another option is to visit some synagogues or other activities related to Jewish acts. If you already find one, do not hesitate to approach him or her and ask about conducting weddings.
