Today Jewish And Interfaith Rabbi

By Anthony Bailey


It was uncommon many years ago and taboo to get married out of faith. Today Jewish and interfaith Rabbi has become popular whilst the globe expands and people have access to the Internet and dating sites that many years ago was unheard of. Years ago, a shatgan or matchmaker was used in Jewish communities in finding that special soul mate, furthermore, some marriages were planned by parents so one knew who one would marry from an early age.

Today times have changed and because of the Internet and dating sites, religions have mixed and it is not surprise that weddings of different faiths have become so widespread. There is nothing wrong with this and if it is a route that must be travelled, there are many guidelines both online and offline that can assist.

A partner will appreciate this especially if he or she is proud of their religion and does practice it partially. Online has a lot to offer and pictures can be seen of what a Jewish wedding looks like. An important part of this practice is the Chuppah under which the couple will stand during the duration of the ceremony.

Jewish weddings have a uniqueness about them and standing under the Chuppah makes one feel connected to a superior entity that governs life. A chuppah simply put is a canopy under which the bride and groom stand whilst the Rabbi officiates. Pictures and images can be seen by doing a quick search and this is a nice touch to any wedding day.

Weddings may not take place on the Sabbath day which falls on a Saturday, starting from sundown on a Friday night all the way to sunset on a Saturday night. Apart from this, there are days which festivals are celebrated and some fast days throughout the calendar and these do not allow for celebration of any sorts. So with this in mind it is best to speak to a Rabbi in order to plan in advance which day may be suitable for this celebration.

Shabbat as it is called starts from sundown on a Friday night to sunset on a Saturday night. This is a day of rest as laid out in the Torah or Hebrew Bible. Other days of the years on which festivals fall are also out of the question so it is best to speak to a Rabbi before setting a date just to make sure.

The chuppah is held up by four poles. Here one can appoint men to hold each pole thereby including family and friends. It is an honour to do just this and have those dear to one, close at hand.

There exists deeper meanings behind given practices. Finding out about them is illuminating. An interfaith Rabbi is a storehouse of information and it is best to ask him or her any questions one may have and with that feel empowered.
