Let’s talk about the  history of Jewish-Interfaith marriage. But before we dive in, let's set a few things straight. I want to emphasize that my goal is not to convince anyone to marry within or outside their faith. It's about understanding the twists and turns of the Jewish Peoples’ relationship to interfaith marriage, and how it shapes our perspectives today. 

A Shabbat (Saturday) wedding is not as forbidden or impossible as you might think.

Let's dive into a topic that's close to my heart – whether or not it’s “okay” for a Jewish wedding to take place on Shabbat.

So, picture this – you've had your wedding date locked in on your calendar for quite some time, and, for several reasons, it’s on a Saturday. A quick search online about Jewish weddings on Saturday might scare you. The first page is full of sites that say it’s just unacceptable.

HOWEVER. I'm here to tell you that Shabbat weddings, from my experience are not only “okay” - they're a joyful, inclusive celebration that can be every bit as meaningful and beautiful as any other wedding.
