Officiating Weddings During a Pandemic: A Discussion Forum for Jewish Clergy – Online

These days, in addition to our local regulations, each clergy person needs to decide for themselves what they are comfortable with when it comes to officiating weddings. How do we best serve the couples we are working with and still remain true to ourselves?

This Discussion Forum will provide a safe space for clergy to ask questions they have and to share with others what they are thinking and doing. Come with questions and/or ideas to share…or just come to listen and learn.

For the majority of the session, clergy will be in breakout groups based on topics that you personally want to focus on. You can indicate when you register which two of the four below topics you wish to discuss in detail with colleagues:

1. CONTRACTS, MONEY, PAYMENT
2. ZOOM WEDDINGS
3. PERSONAL SAFETY BOUNDARIES
4. COUPLES WHO WANT TO HAVE TWO WEDDINGS

Note that this Discussion Forum is for both those clergy who attended our Forum on June 25 as well as those who did not attend.
