Hi everyone. Well, what I mean by Interfaith Rabbi is the fact that although I am a rabbi, I support- rather than discourage- interfaith marriage. In all the mainstream movements- Orthodox, Conservative and even Reform- most rabbis (in the case of Reform, many) will not co-officiate at a wedding ceremony with Priest or Minister.
An Interfaith Rabbi will. We value any connection to a person's Jewish roots and culture.

Thanks for the question

Rabbi Steve

Are you renewal?

Oops, oh, welcome to the forum. I attend a synagogue occasionally which is attached (at the lobby not the hip) to a Presbytarian Church. Additionally when they decided to build a building (previously they shared the space) they decided to make it permanent and had a 'wedding' ceremony and have the Coddish (sp?) framed in the lobby.

These folks are interfaith, they have joint holidays, so each may learn more about the other, and have now linked up with a Mosque and Imam for more interfaith exploration and discussion.

I honor your path.

Re: Rabbi Steve

hi, rabbisteve

I guess interfaith marriage is an interfaith question, but I had never seriously thought about it before. How is interfaith marriage possible? In my immediate family, there is one christian rule that must never be broken, which is that I must never ever marry a nonchristian. It is a very strict and ancient prohibition passed down to me multiple times and in various ways - sometime seriously and other times jokingly. If I were to marry a non christian, the whole family would go into fits of anger, fainting, and perhaps some would die on the same day. Its a fairly effective prohibition.

Welcome to the IO forums, RabbiSteve. It's good to have another Jewish perspective. Not that BB and dauer don't do a great job, but you know what I mean.
