Both practical and profound, this 10 page booklet written by Renewal Rabbi Marcia Prager provides an explanation of each step of the « spiritual journey » that is a Jewish wedding ceremony. Reflecting the values of the Renewal movement, this guide offers ways to make the ceremony more egalitarian and personally meaningful, such as a double ring ceremony and reading an interpretative English translation of the traditional Sheva Brachot. The booklet concludes with a useful list of things to make sure you have under the Chuppah. Rabbi Marcia Prager, a vibrant Jewish Renewal teacher, storyteller, artist, and therapist, is Director and Dean of Ordination Programs for ALEPH: Alliance for Jewish Renewal, and rabbi for the P’nai Or Jewish Renewal community of Philadelphia PA.
