Your Jewish Wedding

The traditional circling at a Jewish wedding has so much history and so many different meanings. As fun as its origins may be (you'll see!) I get most excited about how other cultures incorporate circling into their wedding ceremonies, too.  Please note: something went awry with the break music in editing. I don't really anticipate many, if any, of you caring. :)  Shownotes: The first six minutes or so of this podcast are just me talking about the weather and scented candles. ~ 19 minutes: Kreissmesser article: https://feminismandreligion.com/2020/01/30/the-kreismesser-women-and-magic-swords-in-jewish-tradition-by-jill-hammer/ ~ Don't forget - you can reach me (Rabbi LeighAnn) any time at www.yourohiorabbi.com or everyonesfavoriterabbi.com or rabbileighann.com !

I probably made a bunch of people upset years and years ago - but I can't remember all the details. (There's a reason you're supposed to apologize as soon as you mess up.) Between Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur, Jews are called to do an honest accounting of our souls, and to make amends where we can. In this episode, I'll explain that a little more, and why MY apology, however imperfect, is pretty necessary right now.  Links:  Today is not yesterday - https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/1612482/jewish/Today-Is-Not-Yesterday.htm Gam Zeh Yaavor - https://www.ansheamunim.org/gam_zeh_yaavor Cheshbon haNefesh https://mussarinstitute.org/cheshbon-hanefesh-3/ Detours and Destinations Podcast https://www.92ny.org/archives/featured-series/detours-and-destinations Epsiode with Rabbi Shira https://www.92ny.org/archives/detours-destinations-rabbi-shira-stutman Rabbi Shira's podcast https://chutzpod.com/ Don't forget - you can reach me (Rabbi LeighAnn) any time at www.yourohiorabbi.com or everyonesfavoriterabbi.com or rabbileighann.com !

(Finding a Rabbi Series) It's one of the most common questions a rabbi may ask a couple before deciding that he or she is the right fit for the couple's wedding.

You know about breaking the glass, but what about breaking a PLATE? Welcome to the first LISTENER QUESTION episode of the Your Jewish Wedding Podcast, where I answer Olivia's question: "I was wondering if you could explain the breaking of the plates by the mothers?" Yes! There is a Jewish custom where the mothers of the people getting married break a plate to "Seal the deal." (Watch a short video of a plate-breaking I facilitated here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1p9wGz9E92s2LajZY8LAPj07MTcblOiJN/view?usp=drive_link) As with anything to do with Jewish Weddings, there are many explanations for this custom and different ways to do it. It is connected to what was traditionally an engagement agreement called a tenaim.  So, obviously, we need to learn about that first. Show Notes are below.

Clueless about your Hebrew name? What about your fiance/e's? Your ketubah will most likely ask you to provide your Hebrew name - for very important reasons. Don't phone this one in - listen for tips and tricks on the best way to determine your Hebrew name and that of your beloved -whether he or she is Jewish or not.

I interview Reverend Mercy Ibarra, an interfaith/bilingual officiant (and possible MOT?)  in Los Angeles. (Yes, she's done Jewish weddings. And technicalities aside, she was brought up Catholic.) If you don't want a religious ceremony but your Abuela is NOT happy about it, Reverend Mercy can help! Listen for more on her experience with planning traditional AND innovative/personal ceremonies, hear her take on the Four Questions with Rabbi LeighAnn Lightning Round, and a bonus on babies (!) at the end.

What does the circling under the chuppah MEAN? Will it be weird if we do it at our wedding? Will we feel awkward? Will we freak out our guests? Should we explain it? Aaaaarggh! Yes, for many couples, considering circling under the chuppah just feels like TOO MUCH. Too much Jewiness, too much time, too much foreign weirdness...and yet, many still feel drawn to it.  Are you hoping to include circling in your Jewish wedding and searching for an explanation for the ritual that speaks to YOU? You've come to the right place.  * Watch some videos of others circling to get an idea for how it looks and whether you want to do it. * https://youtu.be/uUdBNTpAoiA * https://youtu.be/LNYjFmP-NaQ Don't forget - you can reach me (Rabbi LeighAnn) any time at www.yourohiorabbi.com or everyonesfavoriterabbi.com or rabbileighann.com !

You've decided to sign a ketubah! Yay!  So...how can you make it your own? As we learned in Episode 12, the Ketubah has some very antiquated origins, especially in terms of how it treats women. Plus, I assume the two of you won't be exchanging goats and dowries.  Here's how you can honor the spirit of the ketubah and uphold its original purpose, making it fit your contemporary values and sensibilities.  Transcript here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MBoh7L6CHaL0oYKZZ4wHjnQOAOOi4H31u7sWiFrLWNw/edit?usp=sharing Don't forget - you can reach me any time at www.yourohiorabbi.com [http://www.yourohiorabbi.com/].
