Thank you! Have you met with him yet? I really wanted to use a Rabbi that I knew personally, but we've had some issues with my old Rabbi...

We used Rabbi Stein--he was wonderful!

We also corresponded with Rabbi Feller during planning, she also seemed terrific!

Rabbi Jonathan Hecht.

Would you consider using a Cantor instead of a Rabbi?

I'm meeting with a cantor this weekend. Whats the diff between Cantor and Rabii?

both have similar training, except that the cantor specializes in jewish music (ie- rabbis give sermons and cantors sing)
