Sarah
If you're old enough to marry, you're old enough to make your own decisions. This is YOUR (you AND your fiance's) wedding - not your parents. Therefore, the two of you should decide what it is you want.
And then inform your parents of your decision.
Your question <<How do I tell my fiance about this issue without hurting his feelings?>> bothers me. Mainly because you speak of parents and ask <<How can I make them view this situation differently?>>
So it appears from what I read that you'd LIKE for your parents to allow you to do what you want to - but their way is what you WILL do. Maybe I'm not getting it.
If your parents are paying for the wedding - and therefore demanding "editorial control" - then you need to decide what's more important; the big WEDDING or a MARRIAGE.
Good Luck,
Bob |

While finding a rabbi to officiate at a Jewish-Christian wedding can be close to impossible, consider finding a non-denominational minister who is familiar with Jewish wedding traditions.
Some Jewish families, once they are used to the idea that their son or daughter is marrying a gentile, are then satisfied with a non-denominational ceremony which respects both traditions. |

Elana,
In Toronto, basically, you have two choices for a "Jewish" wedding, if you are not marrying a Jew. One is contacting the ORAYNU Congregation for Humanistic Judaism (web site at http://www.oraynu.org/index.htm). They will do an interfaith/intercultural ceremony. They are quite expensive, but seem experienced. However, they are militantly secular -- they will not mention God or the higher power or anything like that at the ceremony.
Your other choice is Dr Rabbi Zimmerman, who is an old "rebel" rabbi who does not belong to any "official" rabbi association. Email me for his phone number (nkwriter at yahoo dot com).
All other rabbis, including Reform and Reconstructionist rabbis, will not officiate at an interfaith ceremony. |

I am Jewish and my faince is Catholic. We were lucky enough to find a rabbi and priest willing to marry us. However, we are having a hard time finding a neutral place to have the cermony in Brooklyn or Staten Island, NY. We do not want to have the cermony in the hall becuase we do not want the cermony and reception in the same place. We are looking for somewhere indoors (becuase it is in the winter) to have the interfaith cermony. |

I am planning an interfaith wedding. I am Catholic and my fiance is Jewish. We found a priest who agreed to officiate our interfaith marriage. I would like to respectfully incorporate Jewish traditions. Would it be considered inappropriate for a priest to recite the blessing of the wine, traditionally performed at Jewish wedding ceremonies? |

My Catholic son wants to marry his Jewish girlfriend. He promised to remain Catholic, but he will not commit to raising the children as Catholic.
If a marriage is a sacrament, does the church accept a wedding with a justic of the peace instead of a priest? |

I have viewed a few sample interfiath wedding dialogues, but they are always missing the Christian side of things. (I am jewish, my future husband is Episcopalian)
I am wondering if there are things that are good for use, and what things should no be said. Several sites say that Jesus should never be mentioned in a Jewish wedding, but what about an interfaith wedding that is co-officiated?
Thanks! |

Hi,
I hope this posting isn't too late. I have been doing some research for my own interfaith ceremony (Washington, DC) and found a few websites that might be helpful for you: www.interfaithfamily.com - located in Boston & www.rcronline.org. The latter has a list of Rabbi's willing to co-officiate at an interfaith ceremony according to your location. You will just have to email them and request this list. Good luck, hope this helps! |

My fiance is not jewish and has explained his reasons for non-conversion, nonetheless he is not a religious person and as such has no problem in raising the children jewish, and would even participate in a jewish wedding in synagogue. My family and myself are not that religious, more traditional and while i would like to get married in a jewish cermony i have no idea where i would start to get anyone to marry us. i would prefer a rabbi to conduct the service. |

Hello,
My best friend (who is Jewish) is marrying a Christian man. However, as it is an interfaith marriage, she is having an extremely difficult time finding a Rabbi who will officiate their ceremony. Naturally, she will accept no other than a Rabbi to marry them. I understand the reasoning why many traditional Rabbi's will not officiate interfaith marriages. Does anyone know of any rabbi in the Toronto, Ontario area who perform interfaith ceremonies.
Yours Gratefully
