At Congregation Shaarei Kodesh, we believe that every Jewish wedding is not just a personal milestone, but a communal celebration – a sacred moment that reflects the values of love, holiness, and partnership at the heart of Jewish life.
Our synagogue exists to ignite the Jewish spark (lehadlik) within each person and to journey together as a kehilla kedosha – a holy Jewish community. A wedding is one of the most powerful ways we fulfill this purpose: by helping two individuals connect with one another, with tradition, and with the Divine Presence that dwells between them. A wedding is more than a joyous day – it is a profound spiritual moment that reflects your unique bond, and our shared Jewish story.
When a couple stands beneath the chuppah, they are not only affirming their love for each other, but also joining a larger story: the ongoing, evolving story of the Jewish people.
Whether you were raised at CSK, are new to our community, or are seeking a spiritual and meaningful Jewish wedding experience, we welcome you with open arms and open hearts.
Jewish marriage (kiddushin) is a sacred covenant rooted in mutual respect, love, and holiness. At CSK, we honor the beauty of tradition while recognizing the individuality of every couple. Whether you are deeply rooted in Jewish practice or exploring it anew, our rabbi and community are here to guide and support you.
