Do we need an offical thread. Keep all our questions together? Maybe get a list of Rabbis?

Any thoughts?

Here's my Ketubah from Art Ketubah

Did you look at other places besides Yussels? If so, how was their selection compared to other places. We looked there a couple of weeks ago and found two that we really liked.

I am soo happy this chat was started, I didn't see it on here earlier. I am a jewish bride also. My dress is a halter top, I still need to cover my shoulders right?

Re: Jewish Brides

Yay, another EMJC bride! It depends on your Rabbi. I'm not using Rabbi Androphy at EMJC, I'm using my own Rabbi and he said it was okay for me just to use my veil to cover my shoulders.

Re: Jewish Brides

rabbi androphy won't be able to be the officiant at my wedding so he is having someone else do it, I guess I'll have to ask him when we meet.

I am another USY alumni 1989-1993 (I feel so old). I did encampment, wheels and Pilgrimage.

I am getting married at OJC. I saw a wedding video from there and the bride was wearing a strapless dress (actually the same dress that I am getting). It depends on the rabbi. My sister got married at HERJC adn she wore her veil to cover her shoulders.

Michelle -
What USY chapter - what Year on Pilfrimmage - looks like we had some overlap! :)

Re: Jewish Brides

I was president of HERJC during those years. I went on Pilgrimage in 1992.

Re: Jewish Brides

Jackie, we went to Zion Lion and personaly I liked yussel's choices better. I live in Brooklyn and we went to afew places here but they basically only had orthodox ones.

Re: Jewish Brides

Thanks Andrea. My Rabbi actually wants us to use a Ketubah with Orthodox text. We're conservative, but he is definitely more on the Orthodox side. I'm not thrilled, b/c I like a more egalitarian text, but I have known this Rabbi my entire life - he did my baby naming, Bat Mitzvah, etc, so I'll deal. I live in Staten Island, so there is NO where to get them here! We will probably order from Yussels - it's near FH's home.

Re: Jewish Brides

Ok, gotcha. There are several stores in Brooklyn tht will definitely have Ketubahs with the Orthodox text if you want to go there. One store is called Eichler's. If you want more info I can get it to you.

Re: Jewish Brides

Thanks - I know where Eichler's is, both in the city and at Brooklyn - I love that store (well, judaica stores in general). I'm going to check it out at some point.

Re: Jewish Brides

There is one more in the five towns, Cedarhurst we went to. He had some nice stuff too. Don't remember exact name but it is on Central Avenue.

Re: Jewish Brides

We picked up our finished kettubah tonite from the scribe who did the Hebrew text. She did a wonderful job. I am so excited.

Re: Jewish Brides
