CEREMONY

There isn’t yet an established format for which a jewish LGBTQ+ wedding, let alone an interfaith LGBTQ+ ceremony. Many couples want the symbols and customs that are familiar to them and which have a symbolic and spiritual meaning. References to any particular gender can be adapted as necessary. Since there isn’t a unique way of celebrating such a union, this opens the door to putting together an imaginative and special ceremony, which sensitively shows respect to all those who will be attending. An example of a jewish LGBTQ+ liturgy can be seen and downloaded from the Documents page in this section. To open this page, click here.

Aspects found on the Ceremony page of the Jewish Weddings section can also be incorporated in a LGBTQ+ wedding.

Finding a Rabbi

In the Jewish community, it is customary only to approach one rabbi for your wedding. If you have already approached another rabbi and they have confirmed that they are available, please do not use this website.

Having contacted a rabbi through this site, you should not approach another rabbi, unless the rabbi here is not available.

To find out if the rabbi is available, send a message by using the Contact page. Please give the venue, date and time for the ceremony. Some background details about both of you, would also be helpfull. The Contacts page can also be used if you have any questions.

You should also read the Booklet from the Documents page, which can be read on-line. It is in pdf format and can be downloaded to be read later on your device, or printed.

If the rabbi is available, you have 7 days to confirm the reservation.

A booking is made by downloading, completing and returning the Reservation form from the Documents page. Specific dates can not be held, or penciled-in.

Where ever possible flexibilty will be shown, when due to the consequences of Covid-19, dates and other arrangements need to be changed. The exception to this is in regard to deposits for ceremonies, which are non-refundable.
