Wedding and Commitment Ceremonies

Mazel tov!

Life partnerships are to be treasured and celebrated. Call the office to schedule an aufruf on a shabbat shortly before your ceremony, when the community can bless your union in advance. And speak directly with our clergy about possible officiation; both availability and ability are handled on a case-by-case basis. Each clergyperson’s criteria for officiation (on issues such as the religious background of both partners, distance of the wedding from Washington, and timing of a ceremony within the Jewish week or Jewish year) differ; the gender of either participant, however, is not a criterion.
