Q&A: Wedding for Jews Abroad
Wedding for Jews Abroad
Question
My daughter lives in Los Angeles and plans to get married in Israel in three months to a divorced Jewish man with two children. She will only be able to come to Israel a week before the wedding. How do you arrange a wedding with a rabbi? How do you handle the matter of the Rabbinate? If there is no way to arrange the Rabbinate matter in the U.S., how is it possible without approval from the Rabbinate? I would appreciate details. Urgent. Thank you.
Answer
Hello Dalia,
First of all, congratulations.
I didn’t understand the question. If you’re talking about a wedding through the Rabbinate, it’s best to call them and clarify the procedure. I’m not familiar with their regulations.
I assume that any community rabbi in the U.S. will be able to answer for you/her how this is done there or from there.
