Im Jewish and My FH is Roman Catholic.. My family is very particualr in finding a Rabbi to marry us, and his family a priest. Does any body know any one who has used a rabbi and a priest? We want to find them soon as we think this is going to be one of the hardest Checks to get....

Me and Fh are doing it. We are having a deacon from my parish and a rabbi that he recommends. (Priest can do it too) it just has to be in a structure. check your church. I know mine does it

I am Jewish and FH is Catholic and we are going to use a Priest and a Rabbi but are currently looking, haven't found one yet - but your rabbi will most likely have to be reformed.

Anyone ever hear of having a jewish wedding on a friday night before sundown?

Know of any reform rabbi that would be willing to do this?

sure. I've known a few people that have done it years ago, however, you'll need a REALLY reformed rabbi to even agree to it bc you're celebrating during shabbat. My family wouldn't show up to a wedding fri night or sat day...sigh.

It might be kind of difficult to find a rabbi for a friday evening, even before sundown. An ultra reformed Rabbi might do it but im not sure..

Your Rabbi will most likely need to be Reformed.

The Catholic church will only let a priest marry both of you if you go through the specific interfaith pre-cana and you get married in the church.
he has to promise all sorts of silly stuff, like he will promise to raise his children int he catholica faith - yadda yadda.

No priest will marry you outisde of a catholic church.
you could try to find a prioest who is no longer affiliated with a church who could marry you and he could marry you at the place of your choosing.

Hope this helps!

my officiant is an ordained rabbi but is very reform - doesn't really practice as a rabbi anymore, he would def do this for you if you're ok with it being somewhat unofficial
