The Wedding Jeannie’s Spring Officiant Series Continues; Ed Case, CEO of InterfaithFamily!

One important aspect of ceremonies that we see often is the merging of different faiths. It can be challenging but there are resources that offer help along the way. This week we chat with Ed Case about his organization, InterfaithFamily, which offers exactly this kind of help. It is a wonderful resource for interfaith couples exploring Jewish life and communities and is founded on the belief that people in interfaith relationships contribute to the strength and continuity of Judaism.

We’ll chat with Ed about what to consider when merging faiths, some of his supportive educational programs, how you can be a part of InterfaithFamily, and much, much more!

The Wedding Jeannie kicks off the Spring Series; Introduction to how to Hire an Officiant! 

The person who performs your marriage ceremony will be one of the most important people at your wedding, and the ceremony is one of the most important moments. In that vein, there are many things to consider when thinking of

who to choose and how. 

While this choice is exceedingly personal, there are some guidelines and questions to discuss with your partner that can help make the decision seamless - is religion a key element to you? If so, Is the ceremony interfaith or intercultural? If not, what goes into a civil ceremony? Do you want to write your own vows? Will the ceremony be in a house of worship or at a venue? 

We'll discuss these things and so much more this week before we start chatting with Officiants next week and for the remainder of the series!
