Time For Jewish And Christian Wedding Rabbi

By Helen Reed


A rabbi is a Hebrew word meaning teacher. Deciding on Jewish and Christian wedding rabbi becomes a necessity when these two faiths are brought together should a man and woman with these two denominations want to get married. It can be a difficult time especially when one party insists that this be the case and wanting a wedding with a this type of flavor.

There is much to consider if this is the case and it is wise to go and consult with a Rabbi of this nature. The word Rabbi basically means teacher and they are well versed in all aspects of the Bible both written and oral law. An orthodox one will unfortunately not be of any assistance, as they will not condone a marriage of this type because it is not in accordance with Law.

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.

If one wants to be wed in this nature then there are other considerations to take into account for that matter. For one, it is best to ensure that the food is kosher and meets up to kashrut conditions as stipulated by the local Beth Din. A mashgiach will also be required to ensure that all kashrut standards are met during the celebration.

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.

A chuppah or bridal canopy is customarily used at functions such as this. It is a shawl that is extended by four poles that is held above the bride and groom. It is a magical moment enjoyed by all and with the aid of best friends and family; this is a must for occasions such as these.

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.
