jewish marriage and weddings
What is the role of religions in marriage?
What’s the difference between getting married in a courthouse versus a church? Do you have the same rights etc… I’ve been looking up info about different weddings jewish,catholic etc and there’s a lot of rules and regulations and yet you can get the same piece of paper in a courthouse.
Whether you marry in a Church by a Priest, or in someones backyard by a Justice of the Peace, you still have the same rights and you are considered just as “married” either way.
My husband and I married in a banquet hall, and were married by a Justice of the Peace. We had “God” omitted from our ceremony, and had beautiful vows and a wonderful ceremony anyway. We are not religious people, therefore we did not want a religious ceremony or wedding.
Marriage is NOT a religious thing, despite what many religious fanatics will tell you. You can make your marriage about God and religion if you want to, but that doesn’t mean that it’s a religious concept. Marriage is a beautiful thing, and the uniting of two lives — with or without God being involved.
Good luck!

Available with Orthodox, Conservative or Reform egalitarian text in Hebrew, or Hebrew and English $640.00 Are the two deer eating the fruit of the tree of life? Or is it the tree of wisdom? Wisdom of the heart, the wisdom of living together, is the synergy of both. This is why this Ketubah brings so many symbols of love, understanding and home building, all symmetrical: light, growth, faith, holiness… and one Jerusalem. Each of the Ketubahs I decorate with gold and crystals is different. What leads… |
