Rabbi
Buz Bogage will be honored to officiate at your interfaith wedding.
He
will work with you to create the wedding ceremony of your dreams.
Together, you will sort through the traditional Jewish wedding elements
to decide which pieces you wish to keep and which to let go.
Do
you want the huppah but not the Ketubah? No problem. Or perhaps
you would you like to bless the wine but not have any Hebrew? He
can make it work.
Rabbi
Bogage's goal is to help you craft a wedding that is meaningful
to you and inclusive of your varied guests. Couples and
their parents love Rabbi Bogage's ceremonies because he makes everyone
--Jews and non-Jews alike --feel welcome and included.
Frequently
Asked Questions:
Q: What are the Rabbi's requirements for performing
an interfaith wedding?
A: Nothing! No classes, no book lists, and no synagogue dues. (Although
he doesn't object to those!) For Rabbi Bogage, its enough
that you want to have a Jewish wedding, and he wants to make that
possible for you.
Q:
How will we get to know the Rabbi?
A: The Rabbi meets with you for two to three sessions
before your wedding ceremony.
Q:
What if we live out of town or don’t have time
for meetings?
A: Many of the Rabbi Bogage's wedding clients live
out of town and even overseas. You might choose to fly in for one
extended meeting, or do the work by Skype or phone. The most important
work can be done over the phone in 2 sessions.
Q:
Does Rabbi Bogage co-officiate with non-Jewish clergy?
A: Rabbi Bogage does co-officiate with non-Jewish
clergy and will be glad to work with you. If you need a recommendation
for a Christian clergy, he has a minister with whom he works frequently.
Their combined weddings are seamless and inclusive. More>>

| What
Brides Say About Our Interfaith Wedding Ceremonies: |
Thank
you Rabbi Bogage! My
wedding was everything I dreamed it would be and more.
Kevin's
Catholic family had never been to a Jewish wedding and they
all loved it.
My
family was skeptical that our wedding would be authentically
Jewish, and they loved it too! How did you manage that?
Thank
you for bringing our families together in such a great way!
