Surprising Elements You Will Find In A Jewish And Christian Wedding Rabbi

By James Edwards


Change is inevitable. This is evident today in not only with the technological improvement but also the intertribal and also interfaith marriages. Traditional is important and we ought to uphold ours hence the reason as to why making clear to your partner on some of the vital ones as stated and embraced in your community is important. A marriage journey especially the one that brings together two different communities is not an easy venture as it sounds. There ought to be a deep understanding of the two communities, especially by the couples to avoid bridging some traditional information considered vital. Discussed are some of the things you are likely to come across in Jewish and Christian Wedding Rabbi.

Keep in mind the arrangement of the procession. In religions like Christianity, the groom is never allowed to walk down the aisle rather they are supposed to wait with the groomsmen and the clergy at the altar. You need to know the procedures involved in entering the church like how the bridesmaid is supposed to be walked into the church with her parents.

For the traditional Jews ceremonies, the ceremony begins with the huppah bearers. The rabbi or the cantor then gets in the place. Consequently, the groomsmen groom alongside with his parents gets into the church venue. Finally, the bridesmaid together with the bride and the parents get to the venue before the ceremony kicks off.

Look at the aspect of these vows. For the Christianity sides, the vows are recited by both couples and will agree to them by saying I do. The vows are clergy led ones, and the couple will then recite to them in unison. However, for the Jews, the vows are recorded in the ketubah and are not recited aloud by the couple. The ketubah is then read aloud to the congregation.

The place where the event takes place differs in both ceremonies. In the Christian ceremony, the church the couples attend plays a big role in the selection of the place e. G. If they are Catholics then the place will be in the church then followed by a reception in a serene place. On the contrary, Jewish ceremonies are done in the synagogue or an open-air area only.

Inquire if they use the detail of lighting a unity candle. Candles bear meaning in most weddings especially the Christian ones. The parents of the couple should light the candle and then take it to each of these wedding couples to light it. Candles are however very significant in the Jewish marriages as it is not an offense.

The pronouncement that is made after the making of those vows and signing of that document that you are now publicly husband and wife are only among Christians. The Jews do not make such an announcement after the ceremony. However, this is acceptable to most of the Jews and will not be an offensive message.

Keep in mind the glass breaking detail. This is the point that is common for very many Jews. Christians, however, do not practice such details and might also be offensive to many people in the congregation. It is however crucial to ensure that this is a very crucial detail with the Jewish community as it has been practiced since immemorial time.
