Tips And Jewish And Interfaith Rabbi

By Douglas Turner


Being a Jew in is not easy especially with the renewed and resurgence of anti semitic sentiment prevalent in the world. A Jewish and Interfaith Rabbi can be found in nearly any corner of the world to answer any questions one might have or be there to assist in the case of ceremonies that are required. It is not a faith seeking to spread its word throughout the world such as others.

It is a yearning that leads one onto a path such as this and it is an arduous one to say the least. The Rabbi can be consulted for advice on next to any subject and many find themselves asking questions especially when a couple loves each other where one is not of this faith. An interfaith Rabbi can steer a couple in the right direction and will usually consent to officiating a marriage where one partner is not a Jew.

Marrying in accordance with known practices does not render the individual a Jew but many want to marry and celebrate it the way others do especially if one is adamant that this be so. Embarking on the path of converting is not an easy one and can take years to achieve. Rabbis will advise on how to proceed especially so if this is what one wants.

A court of Law is called a Beth Din which translates to House of Judgement. Here all the laws that govern each and every individual within this faith, are adhered to and enforced. This is especially so for laws concerning dietary laws called Kashrut. This governs laws and practices so that any food that is bought off the shelf, be it animal or other, has the Beth Din stamp of approval for consumption.

Before partaking of any food, a strict check is done whether the food being eaten has passed the dietary requirements as stipulated by the Beth Din. Booklets can be bought that cover all the products that are kosher in a particular area. Apart from this, an emblem can found on the product itself that shows which Beth Din has okayed the product for consumption.

A Hechsher is the seal of approval and when wanting to purchase products, it is necessary that there be one on the product itself. Apart from this, many Beth Dins worldwide, put out a book month on month listing all the products that are permissible for consumption. This is just a small fraction of the bigger whole as it means to be a practicing Jew.

A Rabbi is always there to assist and to point in the right direction. Many would like to get married under a Chupah even if not of this faith. When becoming a Jewess or Jew, one is said to have taken on a new soul or Neshamah. When this happens and one finally qualifies to become one, the person is accepted by all as being totally Jewish.

Rabbis are there to assist. Ask away. And receive the answers sought.
