Meld je aan bij LibraryThing om erachter te komen of je dit boek goed zult vinden. Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. Book describes a variety of ways that couples can create ceremonies & celebrations that are grounded in ancient wisdom & time-honored customs & are also true to contemporary values. Appropriate for Jews of all denominations, including LBGTQ+ & couples that include Jews of different faiths or who are unconnected to any religion. If you're planning a Jewish (or Jew-ish) wedding, I highly recommend this! My Gentile fiance and I, and the friend who's officiating, are learning so much. Diamant is occasionally a little less clear than I'd like (I always thought chuppah meant the entire canopy structure, but maybe it's just the cloth part? or maybe I'm right after all? She writes about it both ways in that chapter, and we're still confused), but overall her prose is beautiful and illuminating. Planning our ceremony and writing our ketubah seem way less overwhelming now. This is the most recent edition of a book she originally wrote in, I think, the 1980s. Jewish (and American) egalitarian thinking about women, and interfaith and queer couples, has changed a LOT in that time, and is continuing to do so, so definitely get the most recent update you can find! geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Newly revised and updated, the definitive guide to planning a Jewish wedding, written by bestselling novelist Anita Diamant--author of The Red Tent and The Boston Girl--and one of the most respected writers of guides to contemporary Jewish life. This complete, easy-to-use guide explains everything you need to know to plan your own Jewish wedding in today's ever-changing world where the very definition of what constitutes a Jewish wedding is up for discussion. With enthusiasm and flair, Anita Diamant provides choices for every stage of a wedding--including celebrations before and after the ceremony itself--providing both traditional and contemporary options. She explains the Jewish tradition of love and marriage with references drawn from Biblical, Talmudic, and mystical texts and stories. She guides you step by step through planning the ceremony and the party that follows--from finding a rabbi and wording the invitation to organizing a processional and hiring a caterer. Samples of wedding invitations and ketubot (marriage contracts) are provided for inspiration and guidance, as well as poems that can be incorporated into the wedding ceremony or party and a variety of translations of traditional texts. "There is no such thing as a generic Jewish wedding," writes Anita Diamant, "no matter what the rabbi tells you, no matter what the caterer tells you, no matter what your mother tells you." Complete, authoritative, and indispensable, The Jewish Wedding Now provides personalized options--some new, some old--to create a wedding that combines spiritual meaning and joyous celebration and reflects your individual values and beliefs.
