The New Jewish Wedding, Revised (0743202554)

Editorial Review:

The Definitive, Completely Up-to-Date Guide to Planning a Jewish Wedding

Since its original publication in 1986, The New Jewish Wedding has become required reading, assigned to engaged couples by Conservative, Reform, and Reconstruc-tionist rabbis alike. In this new revision, Anita Diamant, one of the most respected writers of guides to Jewish life, continues to offer step-by-step guidance to planning the ceremony and the party that follows -- from hiring a rabbi and wording the invitation to organizing a processional and hiring a caterer. She also includes:

• A new chapter focusing on converts, non-Jews, and same-sex couples
• Essential Web sites
• All new art, with examples of ketubot, invitations, and other wedding paraphernalia
• New poems and new translations of the seven wedding blessings

Complete, authoritative, and indispensable, The New Jewish Wedding is a must-have resource for anyone who wants a wedding that combines spiritual meaning and joyous celebration.

Very informative:

My fiance and I are getting married in October and he is Jewish and I am not. This book was extremely helpful to me and was easy to read and follow. We are trying to incorporate both Jewish and nonJewish traditions into our wedding. The Rabbi recommended this book and I'm glad he did!

Nothing new:

I read so many great reviews and just didn't find it that fascinating or original! Be creative and come up with some of your own ideas...that's what I'm doing!

Good comprehensive Jewish Wedding book:

This book goes through all of the details of a Jewish wedding in a simple manner and explains everything for folks who aren't familiar with all of the traditions. It is very open in terms of welcoming couples to choose what traditions make sense for them and is inclusive to interfaith marriages as well as same sex marriages.

Not in "New" condition...:

This book was said to be in "New" condition but it had a crease in the cover that someone had tried to flatten out. Otherwise it was fine, but NEW is supposed to be NEW, so I'm a little disappointed.
