Re-Imagining Jewish Marriage
Kiddushin and Beyond
Guy Izhak Austrian,
Jill Jacobs
How-To,
Ritual & Prayer
Central to the Jewish marriage ceremony is kiddushin—the moment when the man (traditionally) gives the woman an object of value in order to establish his exclusive rights to her. Many contemporary Jews have been redefining kiddushin, making the process more egalitarian and less hetero-normative, and even exploring alternatives that avoid kiddushin altogether. We will explore these options and consider what Jewish marriage should look like in the 21st century. No marriage experience is necessary!
