Getting married is the most wonderful experience that a couple can have during a lifetime after being single. Jewish Christian interfaith wedding gets to the nitty gritty of what it takes to do just this and to have an interfaith experience that is unsurpassed. There are a few things one needs to know in order for things to run smoothly and to avoid upsetting guests who for one expect that food passes kosher laws.
For guests that will be attending and who are of the Jewish faith, will expect that catering requirements have been included that caters for their kosher needs. Kosher embodies all those laws found in this religion that govern what may be consumed, what may not and how. If this is new to either one of the couple then time should be taken to familiarise oneself with it and preferably to consult a Rabbi.
It is best to be aware that one should choose what types of foods will be served as Jews are not allowed, according to kosher laws, to mix meat a milk products together. Fish served as a starter to a main meal of meat is allowed so the options are endless as to what one can serve. A caterer would know this and be certified by a Jewish Court of Law or Beth Din as it is called, as to what is permissible and what is not.
This really sums up the kosher laws in a nutshell and again, a caterer who will be catering will already have suggestions in place that one can ponder over. If some of the guests are going to be more fussy than usual, it is best to get in caterers that are accredited by a Beth Din or Court of Law. These will be equipped to serve food in keeping with all the laws and dictates of what constitutes kosher food and not.
This in a nutshell is a canopy made up of a prayer shawl that is hung over the couple through the duration of the ceremony. It is held erect by four poles, decorated if one wishes. It is a great way to include close friends or family by asking four men, usually, to assist in holding each pole.
Simply put, a Chuppah is a prayer shawl hung up by four poles that the couple will stand under during the ceremony. This can be bypassed if need be but does add a sentimental touch and besides this, it is customary to have this included. It can be draped with flowers and creepers to give it a natural feel and this is inline with Jewish practices.
All in all it is not difficult to custom make the occasion. Keeping inline with practices can be achieved when a Rabbi is consulted. One may want to include him or her to officiate it or not.
The laws are extensive. With a little prodding in the right direction all will be overcome. It is a time to be enjoyed.
