A Modern Professional Couple
Being a modern, professional, interracial couple is very much about making your own journey & crafting a bespoke set of values drawing from the past but also recognizing the present. Rabbi Georgette had so much empathy for that process. She worked with us to structure a completely customized ceremony that mirrored our relationship & values perfectly.
Interweaving Traditions and Heritages
Rabbi Georgette put a lot of effort & research into the Hindu aspects of the ceremony (we didn't have a co-officiant), and I appreciated how her words in the ceremony spoke to the commonality between Hinduism & Judaism as religious philosophies, but also, more broadly, the commonality between all of us as human beings. It was beautifully done. On a side note, many senior members of my (Hindu) family complimented her for what turned out to be the first time they really understood the meaning of the Sanskrit rites in a traditional Hindu ceremony -- a big win for us all!
