Interfaith Wedding Rabbi

Interfaith Wedding Rabbi
Summary

I will officiate your interfaith wedding, same sex wedding or commitment ceremony, without conditions. I co-officiate with non-Jewish clergy and officiate on Friday night or on Saturday. I will leave child rearing decisions to you. I will officiate at any location you are both comfortable with, including a church. I will use theistic or non-theistic language, and will not dictate to you or the other officiant, what he or she can and cannot mention when it comes to God's name. I will travel anywhere you need me to go (in the U.S. and abroad) to officiate your interfaith wedding.
