Hello, I am Rabbi Andrea, an Ordained Reform Rabbi. It is very important to have a rabbi to officiate a Jewish ceremony in order to make sure that the marriage ceremony is done properly.

Marriage is a blessing! The rituals that make up the Jewish Wedding are beautiful! That beauty reflects in the faces of the Katan (bridegroom) and Kallah (bride) throughout those rituals. The symbolism is that the bride and groom are about to create their own "new world" together.

Jewish, Interfaith, Civil Weddings and Commitment ceremonies. Each ceremony is unique intertwining the Jewish Ceremony order and customs.

I reside in Westchester County, New York and cover the Metropolitan area; New York (including New York City-Manhattan), Queens, Brooklyn and the surrounding locations in Westchester County, Connecticut, Long Island and New Jersey.

Most creative wedding ceremony locations can be accommodated - each wedding reflects the personalities of the couple.

I will be happy to travel to perform your wedding anywhere in the United States; Chicago, Texas, California, North Carolina, Florida to name a few states and everywhere else in between. You can have your destination Jewish wedding in the Caribbean, Mexico. Even on cruise ships when in port, then sail away on your honeymoon (optional).

About Rabbi Andrea: to reach the "congregation without walls."

Chazak chazak v’nitchazek – May we all move forward from strength to strength so that we all may be strengthened by each other.

Shalom U’Veracha – With Peace and Blessing, Rabbi Andrea Frank
