Overview

The Jewish Wedding Now is a comprehensive, easy-to-use guide that explains everything you need to plan a meaningful Jewish wedding in a world where the very definition of what constitutes a Jewish wedding is up for discussion.

Written for Jews of all denominations and descriptions, including LGBTQ+ Jews, and couples that include people of different faiths or who are not connected to any religion, The Jewish Wedding Now provides choices for every stage of a wedding—including celebrations before and after the ceremony. With references from The Bible, Talmud, mystical texts and folk tales, this is a practical resource, with suggestions for planning the ceremony and the party that follows, from finding a rabbi and wording the invitation to organizing a processional and hiring a caterer. You’ll also find samples of wedding invitations and ketubot (marriage contracts), as well as a variety of choices and translations for the ceremony itself.

The Jewish Wedding Now provides personalized options—some new, some old—to help you create the meaningful, joyful, and memorable wedding that’s right for you.
