What are the major issues in locating a rabbi for my interfaith ceremony?

Frequently Asked Questions for Rabbi Steve Mason
All Orthodox and Conservative rabbis as well as most Reform and Reconstructionists will routinely refuse to officiate at interfaith ceremonies. There is, however, a legitimate group from the latter two denominations that will officiate. The greatest issue seems to be the wide variety of conditions that dictate officiation. Unfortunately, few rabbis will officiate with the broad latitude that most couples desire.

F.A.Q
Be aware of the weather. If it is likely to be hot or warm, have the ceremony in the shade. Remember to have shade for your guests as well. You as a Bridal couple have a duty of care to see that your guests are also looked after and that means providing them with shade or shelter if the weather is too hot or if it rains. Photographs work out better in the shade, and professional photographers will "fill" with flash and won't have to contend with glare or squinting eyes.

Why do you think that Judaism is so concerned with interfaith marriage?

Welcome to Jewish-Ceremonies.com from Cantor Ronald Broden
Since the 1980's the rate of Jews choosing non-Jewish spouses has hovered between 40-50%. Up to that point the Jewish community reacted negatively to that development. It was believed that intermarriage would threaten the existence of the American Jewish community. However, by 2006 there is a consensus that the time has come to confront the challenge with constructive solutions.
