About A Jewish And Interfaith Rabbi

By Angela White


There is a process that one has to go through whilst organizing a wedding of this nature. A Jewish and Interfaith Rabbi is there to be called upon to answer any questions one may have and to guide one in observing the customs and traditions that form part of this day. There is plenty to learn if one is not Jewish and it is nice to show some interest especially for a partner who is accustomed to its observances and practices.

Both partners want a day that goes off smoothly and so it is best to get started preparing long before the day arrives. One needs to know a bit about the laws pertaining to food as this gives one a better sense of what makes up part of this religion. For most Jews, this is a lifelong study but it is easily practiced when one knows the basic rules.

This problem is easily overcome by using a Kosher caterer that is certified to provide the right foods for any meal. A Rabbi will advise one on this so there is nothing to worry about and with a bit of steering in the right direction, a hearty meal can be served and appreciated by all. Although this body of knowledge is exhaustive one can overcome this by getting to know a few simple rules.

Another area of knowledge that may be overwhelming are the laws pertaining to food and what may be eaten and what not. These are the laws of Kashrut or kosher laws. The reason why it is a good idea to get to know them a little is because guests that will be attending, and who are Jewish, will expect kosher foods to be served.

These are the basic rules but one need not worry too much about this as the caterer will have this covered and offer suggestions as to the meal that will be served. A Rabbi will advise who to use and having a meeting with one as soon as possible is advisable in order to put this task down as done. These precautions are necessary as one does not really want to disappoint guests that are Jewish as the food is one of the highlights of the occasion.

The intricacies of the day are appreciated that much more when knowledge of its laws and practices are understood. A Rabbi is the perfect person to bounce ideas off and to get the process going. One should leave oneself enough time to organize all of this.

It is a time that will be remembered for the rest of one's life. Keeping the guests happy is not such a chore as one may have thought it was. Keeping within the rules is not a problem when using a professional to guide one.

It is a special time for all including friends and family and one will want the day to go off without a hitch. As chaotic as it may seem, things do come together. There is never a better time than to start preparing now.
