I am glad to meet with you at a mutually convenient time and location for a no obligation, interfaith marriage consultation.

Interfaith marriage expert Rabbi Genn, our Executive Director, encapsulated our approach when he said, "Interfaith marriage, and blended families are Good for society. They help bridge the differences which separate us, and emphasize the very powerful idea that we are all God's children!" As a interfaith marriage organization we believe in empowering interfaith couples, so that they can celebrate their marriage, and not repress their heritages, be they Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Jainist, Hindu, Buddhist, Taoist, etc.... We encourage them to involve interfaith family and Ethnic marriage traditions in the celebration as well, so that the interfaith marriage moment has authenticity as its hallmark. Rabbi Genn has consistently emphasized that the "people" should be the celebrants, with clergy helping to facilitate, as needed.

Offering marriage, the Rabbi can perform Jewish, Interfaith, Non-Denominational and civil marriage ceremonies, interfaith counseling, destination weddings, private Bar/Bat Mitzvah services, interfaith baby naming ceremonies, commitment ceremonies, nuptials, and interfaith funeral services.
