Mara and Danny K.

I was so excited when Mara and Danny booked me for my first-ever Kentucky wedding. They wanted an interfaith wedding rabbi to help them create a ceremony that was mostly traditionally Jewish, with some meaningful elements from Danny’s Episcopalian upbringing, which he treasures. So this would be a solidly Jewish-Episcopalian interfaith wedding.

Maddie & Maddie

The chuppah beautifully showcased their Jewish heritage. Maddie F’s family tallis and Maddie C’s family tartan intricately woven into the chuppah’s served as a poignant reminder of their shared journey and the roots they cherish. Their own tallis was hung, too, demonstrating their love of their ancestry and their hopes for a beautiful shared future.

Bridget and Aaron K

Together, we created a ceremony that made both the couple and their (very opinionated) Jewish mothers very happy.
