Deciding On Jewish And Christian Wedding Rabbi

By Helen Reed


It is seen that more and more the need for this type of person is required when one of the bridal couple is Jewish. Using a Jewish and Christian wedding Rabbi is the answer when this is the case, especially should one want this to be the flavour of the wedding itself. This is a growing requirement as congregations intermingle and where one of the couple finds their life mate.

Judaism is not a religion that seeks out to convert other dominations into its faith. It is a hard and arduous process in becoming a Jew and can take years before one is recognised as one. At times, one of the couple will insist on this and the road to becoming one is embarked upon.

This is why some partners will want to convert and should this be the case, then the local Beth Din must be consulted. The Beth Din or Ecclesiastical court governs laws pertaining to this religion. It is not a religion that seeks converts but rather if there is yearning to become one, then this court of law has to be approached in order to find out what is required in becoming a convert.

Kosher laws are stringent and they outline what may be eaten and what may not be. Furthermore, should foodstuffs such as this be served, then a mashgiach must be in attendance to ensure that all food is properly watched over. A mashgiach is Torah observant and follows all the laws laid down in the Bible both written and oral.

Kashrut or kosher laws are stringent and one will have to consider bringing in a mashgiach to oversee the preparation of it and serving. A mashgiach is the title given to someone who does just this and must be on site on the day to make sure laws are abided by. This is another cost factor to take into account as this person will be expected to be paid for services rendered.

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 many other customs that can be incorporated into this special day. The unveiling of the bride is another custom that is practiced. This is when the groom checks that the bride to be is really the one he has chosen.

All in all, it is a great way to have this function and a unique one at that which people will talk about forever. List all that is needed to know and work towards the day with glowing satisfaction. It is a momentous day and if prepared properly, will be enjoyed by all those who will be attending it be they non Jews or Jewish people themselves.
