All In A Day Jewish And Christian Wedding Rabbi

By James Martin


It is the time to do some research and to ask some questions when an interfaith marriage is on the cards. It is best when this is the case to consult with a Jewish and Christian Wedding Rabbi in order that all that is needed to know is known. There is a lot to ask and a lot to prepare for for the big day itself and seeking out a service provider such as this will definitely put one at ease.

Furthermore, discussing the ceremony itself is important and how it will flow on that given day. Some will want to have a canopy of a Jewish Rabbi will be officiating as this is a beautiful setting for this occasion. It is called a Chupah which is a Hebrew word and consists of a canopy usually a prayer shawl hung above the couple by four men.

The caterers if guided by the Jewish Court of Law or Beth Din, will ensure that all the requirements are met. This is crucial as many of the guests will expect this and will probably already know of who will be doing the catering. There are many laws regarding this one is that meat and milk products cannot be consumed simultaneously.

There are many laws pertaining to what may and what may not be consumed. Firstly, if meat is being served it must come from a kosher animal such as cattle, sheep or goat. The law states that any meat that is consumed must have two qualities such as chewing the cud and cloven hooved. There is method in this madness and sticking to the laws requires that anything served must be acceptable and approved by a Court of Law or Beth Din.

Furthermore, if fish is on the menu then the fish used must have scales and must have fins. This is a prerequisite and should be noted before going out there and buying just anything. Also, seafood is not kosher such as prawns, crayfish, lobster, crab or shrimp and serving these delights is a definite no.

Seafood such as crab, lobster, shrimps and prawns are strictly prohibited so should not come into the discussion at all. This is especially true if some of the guests are Jewish so as not to disappoint them at all which if done so, will be a sore talking point for many years to come. Traditional Jews, although not one hundred percent religious, will also expect the dietary needs to be encompassed by kosher foods served.

It does become tricky especially if some family members or guests are religious and will expect a seal of approval on the food. This can be easily overcome by using a kosher caterer that is well known in these circles and again, has been approved by the Beth Din. To garner more information it is quite easily obtained by researching online and to find out more about how this occasion should progress.

The time has come. It will be a day never forgot. So, make the right preparations and look forward to it.
