Do you tip your rabbi? If so, how much?

I think it depends. If he's from your synagogue and he's acting on their behalf and they are geting the ceremony fee, then I would, but if you'rehiring him as an outside Rabbi and he's already getting the fee then I would not.

You will have to pay the rabbi, most likely, so then you do not tip him. Otherwise, you often have to make a 'donation' to the temple and that's how he gets paid.

Re: Do you tip the Rabbi??

The rabbi from my synagogue is conservative and cant marry FH and I, as he is not Jewish, but he recommended me to a reform rabbi he trusts. This rabbi has a fee, and will be conducting the ceremony in a catering hall. So, therefore, I do not tip since I am paying his fee and there is no synagogue to be making the donation to?
