People fall in love every day, but for some making a commitment to marriage is more difficult than others. Why is this? Because the two may not be of the same faith. In intercultural romantic relationships, the families or other loved ones may not be helpful in planning the marriage. Those other people may also not be enthusiastic about you spending your life with someone of another faith. If you are looking for interfaith relationship help, Rabbi Allen can assist. Ordained as a rabbi in 1997, Rabbi Allen has performed many different types of interfaith weddings and commitment ceremonies. If you are of the Jewish faith and would like to incorporate some traditions like breaking of glass or the Seven Blessings, an interfaith wedding rabbi, like Rabbi Allen, can do these. If you would like to include protestant or Catholic traditions or would like to him to co-officiate at the wedding, this can be arranged as well. In addition to interfaith weddings, Rabbi Allen can help plan and will officiate at gay commitment ceremonies. Learn more about that below.

Overtly religious weddings can be very intimidating for those who do not attend church or synagogue regularly. If you have not been raised with a religious background or have lapsed in your faith, you can still plan a ceremony with traditional elements. Including a Kiddish cup to symbolize life, or including a wedding canopy or chuppah to symbolize the home you are building are neat aspects to add to your non religious wedding ceremony. In addition, you can focus the nuptials on the exchanging of the rings, which is the focus of Jewish weddings, rather than on the exchanging of vows, the focus of Catholic ceremonies. Whether you want to include a few traditions from your past or want to create a wedding that is truly your own, Rabbi Allen can help you. Alternative weddings can be spiritual even if they are non religious. Wedding ceremony decisions are very important as you will remember this day for the rest of your life. If you have questions or need help, simply contact Rabbi Allen about your day!
