Humanistic Jewish weddings attempt to transcend the ordinary and meet the deep emotional needs of partners and participants.
Humanistic Jewish weddings often include symbols and rituals from traditional Jewish wedding ceremonies that have value and meaning to the couple, such as a huppah (canopy), a Humanistic Jewish ketubah (marriage contract), use of the Hebrew language, a ring exchange, drinking from a cup of wine, seven Humanistic blessings, and breaking of a glass (often by each partner).
Please contact SHJ Rabbi Miriam Jerris for assistance with your life cycle needs, or to help you find an officiant. There are also many resources in the SHJ Store Life Cycle section with information about creating Humanistic Jewish ceremonies to mark life cycle events.
