Shalom!

I am an interfaith rabbi. That means I support- rather than discourage- the union of two people of separate faiths. Together with a few colleagues, we have created Interfaith Wedding. It's a place where interfaith couples who are planning to be married can find a rabbi or minister to perform their ceremony.

Now, there's nothing new about a website that helps you to accomplish this- except that our clergy are very experienced and have been practicing for a long time. And we all feel the same way- that love is the greatest theology of all.

We also understand that this is not a popular position to take. We are not looked upon kindly by some colleagues. But in our hearts we know that we are doing the right thing and that G-d is not angered or upset when two people in love join together as one.

So, if you want to find the best interfaith clergy, let us help you.

Now, I would like to open this blog to people who are in interfaith relationships, and perhaps have been married by interfaith clergy.

It would be great to hear about your experiences- positive or negative.

Also, I certainly do know that parents are especially emotional around the subject of wedding arrangements. They can and do make their feelings known about religion and who should officiate at the wedding. There is usually much pressure on at least one partner to remain true to their faith.

Parents and children, I'd really like to hear about your experiences and journeys.

And as moderator I'll chime in whenever I can :)

Shalom everyone!
