Time For Jewish And Christian Wedding Rabbi

By Helen Reed


It is time for this occasion when one of the couple is Jewish and the call for this type of celebration is required. A Jewish and Christian wedding Rabbi may be consulted to understand what it is that is required by law under these circumstances. There exists a growing need for services such as these as congregations intermingle and want to get married.

Today people wanting this can get it done and have a chuppah to commemorate the occasion. A chuppah is the canopy that the bride and groom stand under and is held up high by four men, each at one pole. These men are usually made up by close friends and family who are given the honour on this special day.

The need for a different flavour at a wedding of this nature is required especially in taking into consideration that many of the guests will be of this faith and way of life. It is with this in mind that a Beth Din, a court of law, is consulted as to what may be done and what may not be at a celebration of this nature. If food is going to be served then one will want to ensure that it is Kosher.

Apart from this, if one is not intending to convert before marriage, there is plenty more to consider and to prepare for this momentous day. Taking into consideration that there will be guests who are Jewish, one must cater for their needs as well. This means catering kosher and having kosher foodstuffs brought in and catered for.

This person will have to be paid for work done so this should be budgeted for accordingly. This person is Shomrei Shabbos meaning that they keep the Sabbath and its laws so accordingly, the wedding date is important as to not fall on this day in the calendar.

The Beth Din is the court of law that enforces anything having to do with Jewish practices. They oversee kashrut laws and ensure that they are with in keeping to laws laid down in the Bible. A mashgiach will ensure that these laws are abided by when serving food and these people are themselves Shomrei Shabbos and abide by all Jewish Law.

There are laws that must be adhered to and the best person to consult is none other than a Rabbi who is willing to conduct the service. Should one of the couple not be willing to convert and not keep in line with tradition, it is possible to still have a function of this kind. There is much to prepare so the best place to start is to ask around and consult the Internet.

So there is much to see to but with a little preparation, having a Jewish celebration is not that difficult. This is especially so when it is required where guests are Jews and will want to be treated to delicacies and foods they are used to. All in all it is a special occasion and is enjoyed by all.
