Tips On Jewish And Interfaith Rabbi

By Angela White


Many may talk one out of having an interfaith union but many find themselves unable to do so because of the love felt for their partners. A Jewish and interfaith Rabbi understands the problems that may arise from a marriage of this sort and is there to guide the couple from the start and more importantly how to have a wedding they both will enjoy. There is much to know and there is no place other than starting on the Internet and searching up answers to questions unanswered.

One may find that learning about the laws, customs and practices is a little overwhelming so it is best to keep things simple and get to know the basics. For one, knowing which foods are permissible by Jews to be consumed is a life long study should one feel that one wants to delve deeper into this. For some knowing the basics is enough and that is okay especially when inviting Jews who are friends and family to the occasion itself.

If not of the Jewish Faith, then a little investigating is called for so at least one does not come across as totally ignorant when it comes to its laws and practices. A Jewish partner will appreciate the effort put in and then again it may not be as important especially if one uses a kosher caterer. However, there exist basic rules that must be adhered to such as eating only animals that are designated as kosher in the Bible and those that are not.

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 best to allow oneself some time. Getting started on a search for an interfaith Rabbi should be done months in advance. Some may suggest some possibilities and it is a worthwhile following each lead.

It is best to take time in making decisions. Give oneself as much time as possible. It will be the best day of a lifetime and is there to be enjoyed to the utmost.
