Check the Jewish calendar first, THEN settle on your date.
I know that almost nobody finds a rabbi as the first thing on their planning list.That’s fine, I just want to give you the info you need so you have the best shot at finding a rabbi to officiate your ceremony if that’s something you desire.
What I do NOT want is for you to be really excited about your Jewish wedding, and really wanting to find a rabbi for your date, then finding out that you've planned a wedding for...oh no! Rosh HaShanah?
So, pull out your calendars, and let's talk Jewish Holidays to Avoid in 2024.
As promised, here are the dates I mentioned during the show:
Purim - Saturday 3/23
