a celebration of the mutual commitment of two equal, loyal, and mutually
supportive partners. While the presence of others confers family and
community approval and endorsement of that commitment, the couple and their
relationship are the center of the celebration. Couples are encouraged to
participate in the creation of their own marriage ceremony, choosing among
Judaic symbols and writings, which will be used within a non theistic context,
and adding their own affirmations, music and poetry.
Interfaith/ Intercultural Ceremonies - Jack Silver will officiate, or co-officiate at
intermarriage ceremonies within the context and integrity of the philosophy of
Humanistic Judaism.
Pre-Marital Counseling - private pre-marital sessions can be scheduled to
discuss Humanistic Jewish history and philosophy, to prepare for issues that
are sometimes problematic for intermarried couples and families, and to
provide the couple with information about Jewish history, culture and practice.
Or Adam Congregation provides non-members who are married by Jack
Silver with a 12 month complimentary membership to the congregation.
