Wedding Cake And Champagne Flutes On Table

MODERN JEWISH COUPLES

you are welcome here

From religion to money, from politics to family, planning for a life together can get 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.

WHAT WE OFFER

COUPLES COHORTS & WEDDING EDUCATION

For committed partners planning life together interested in investing in your relationship and making meaning out of wedding planning. 

COUPLES RETREATS

For all couples (dating, engaged, and married) interested in making new friends, celebrating shabbat, great food, and thoughtful conversation

PRIVATE PRE-MARITAL CONVERSATIONS AND/OR WEDDING OFFICIATION

For those looking for a supportive pre-marriage facilitator or those local to Greater Boston searching for an officiant

OFFICIANT TRAINING

SUPPORT FOR JEWISH PROFESSIONALS

For Jewish professionals looking to partner with us or deepen your learning in couples support

MAZEL BOX

Stay tuned for this beautiful way to celebrate your loved one's engagement!

PROFILE

of a Modern JewISH Couple

  1. You want to be intentional

  2. “One of us is Jewish but…” we are interfaith OR intercultural OR mixed heritage OR LGBTQ+ OR Jewish& OR dual faith OR spiritual but not religious OR both Jewish and want to invest in your relationship and find community

  3. Your preferred officiant is someone you know (which might mean they aren't clergy)

  4. You are stressed out by wedding planning/life

  5. And sometimes your parents have opinions or you're managing unexpected family dynamics
