MODERN JEWISH COUPLES
you don’t have to be Jewish to be part of a Jewish family
From religion to money, from politics to family, planning for a life together gets buried under endless wedding planning logistics and stress. Modern JewISH Couples supports you and your partner in the transition to married life, transforming your wedding preparation process from planning an event to investing time in planning for your future. For those modern Jewish couples who are already married and are preparing for another life event – welcoming new life (furry or human), a career or location move, and more – these conversations are vital for these life transitions, too.

PROFILE
of a Modern JewISH Couple
You want to be intentional;
“One of us is Jewish but…” we are interfaith OR intercultural OR mixed heritage OR Jewish& OR dual faith OR spiritual but not religious;
Your preferred officiant is someone you know (which means probably not clergy);
You are stressed out by wedding planning/life;
And sometimes your parents have opinions.
OUR MISSION
Modern JewISH Couples (MJC) supports committed couples on the pathway to partnership, marriage, and beyond.
A Jewish learning project that guides partners to explore Judaism in their lives, MJC expands the boundaries and barriers of Judaism to be inclusive of those who identify as interfaith, intercultural, multiethnic, queer, atheist, or agnostic, Jewish&, spiritual but not religious, Just Jewish, and more. Our work lifts up the relevance, beauty, and accessibility of Judaism as a blueprint for building and strengthening loving, enduring relationships and Jewish communal connection.
