Congratulations!

If you’ve found me here, you’ve likely gotten engaged, or someone you love has. How exciting!

Your love is exceptional.
You deserve a ceremony that captures it.

Every couple should find an officiant that is the right fit, someone who is easy to talk to, respects and gets your wishes, and can help create a ceremony that fits you perfectly.

Your wedding ceremony should be as incredible as your celebration. Getting to know you and what is unique about your relationship, perspectives, families, and dreams is the best way to achieve that.

Whether it is a wedding, an elopement, or a vow renewal, I will create with you that honors your values and uplifts your love.

I will work with you to
officiate a wedding that is as unique as you.

As a progressive rabbi, I perform Jewish ceremonies and enthusiastically officiate interfaith ceremonies and weddings for couples who identify as spiritual or humanistic. Other officiants have sought me out to help them create same-sex ceremonies. I also happily will travel for destination weddings. Known for my creativity, kindness, and ability to balance the contemporary with tradition, I will work with you to officiate a wedding that is as unique as you.

    Every time we sit down to watch our wedding videos and pictures, we fall in love with our ceremony again. We loved our wedding and we believe that Rabbi Josh was the perfect puzzle piece to make our day so incredibly special. We are forever thankful for him and the amazing ceremony we created together.

    Rabbi Josh was the best part of our wedding. From the beginning, he was very thoughtful and insightful and aimed to make our special day unique and memorable. He succeeded in making our wedding day and ceremony very special and was able to make all of our interfaith guests feel welcome and included. Rabbi Josh really is great at what he does and is an all-around wonderful person.

    We loved working with Rabbi Josh to create a wedding ceremony that reflected our personalities, the history of our relationship and our unique Jewish experiences. Rabbi Josh served as a helpful guide from the very first time we met with him, he educated us on all of the Jewish wedding traditions and encouraged us to identify the elements that were most meaningful to us.

    In addition to his work as our spiritual guide, he offered us his support and guidance based on his experiences working with other couples, and he took the time to review each of our personal reflections ("personal vows") to ensure he had a true sense of what our marriage represented for each of us. We highly recommend Rabbi Josh to couples who are looking for a personalized experience, including those who are interfaith, LGBTQ+ or interested in building a tailored Jewish ceremony.

    Rabbi Josh was an absolute godsend for our wedding. Due to our original Rabbi getting covid 48 hours before the wedding, Rabbi graciously stepped in at the last second, and was able to somehow prepare and plan a thoughtful, beautiful, and deeply personal wedding for us. He got to know us on a deep level, asked about our preferences, and crafted a ceremony that perfectly spoke to our relationship while also maintaining his typical wedding traditions.

    Our families come from different religious backgrounds and Josh knew how to create a distinctly Jewish wedding that still weaved in elements of all faiths and non-faiths. We asked for many modifications - removal of patriarchal customs and readings, inclusion of family, both of us stepping on glass, etc - and Rabbi Josh not only obliged to all of them, he delivered the meaning of all our choices in a way that all audience participants could appreciate. Our guests felt included in the entire ceremony - most noted the highlight was when they proclaimed us as a community, in unison.

When someone attends your wedding, they should experience a ceremony that is as special as you are.

Working together, we will create a ceremony that is essential to “you.”
