Wedding is the sacred union between a man and a woman. The husband must honor and fill his wife. What could be more beautiful than watching and founding a home in the continuity of our fathers and closer to the Halakha?

Our Rabbi will help you in this important step until the solemn day.

Contact our Secretariate who will arrange an appointment with our Rabbi.

At Synagogue des Tournelles, the ceremony includes in an undifferentiated way the following steps:

  • Entry of the newlyweds
  • Speech
  • Kiddush
  • Sheva Berakhot (the seven benedictions)
  • Reading of Ketuba (wedding's contract)
  • Sign of Ketuba
  • Blessing of Cohanim
  • Glass breakage

However, we will personalize the ceremony so that it corresponds to you and will define with you the unwinding and the particular modalities desired:

  • You have a choice between a traditional ceremony accompanied by the organ of the Synagogue or a ceremony accompanied musically by Az Yashir.
  • You can involve your family rabbis or your family members in the song of Sheva Berakhot (the seven benedictions) or use the service of our professional 'Hazanim who will enchant your ceremonies: Mimoun AMAR, Laurent ELGUIR, or call on the H'azan of your choice (in addition), cf. page Our 'Hazanim.
  • The Rabbi proceeds with the speech to discuss the particular circumstances, the people who wish to recall or the habits and customs of each ritual.
  • The flowering of the Synagogue and the songs depend on the "class" you choose for your ceremony directly from the "Consistoire de Paris".

See the price list for weddings.

  • All the ceremonies of blooming and songs indistinctly, it is the quantity which varies still.
  • You can add a valet service, although our Synagogue is ideally located in public transport and near the car parks. See the page How to come? for more details.
  • The ceremony usually lasts an hour, we ask your guests at least 30 minutes before the start of the ceremony, the same for the concert and the kala so that everything goes well and optimally and respecting the following weddings.
  • So that everything goes as planned, that you suggest with the rabbi to form a memo written (in two copies) all the important points: the choice of music, organ or Az Yachir, how to organize the procession, number of seats under the 'huppa (parents, grandparents, 'hatan & kalah ...), witnesses, points of attention of the speech, people to remember ....
  • A volunteer administrator, member of the administrative commission is present during the ceremony and ensures the good general organization.

The Synagogue des Tournelles in Paris is "friendly international wedding" and welcomes Jews from around the world who wish to unite in Paris. We can help you to find a "wedding planner" and will make for you the contact easier with "Consistoire de Paris" in order to be sure you have all the documents to celebrate a religious wedding under the jewish law.

 

 

The bar / bat mitzvah or religious majority, dedicates the age at which a young boy, or girl, becomes responsible for fulfilling all the commands (mitzvot) of the Torah and at the age of 13 for boys and 12 years for girls. For this reason, according to the literal translation, Bar-Mitzvah means "son of the Mitzvah," which describes the state of the young man or girl who is now responsible for performing all the mitzvot (commandments).

This ceremony is an important moment in the religious formation of any young girl or boy. It is a duty for parents to prepare their children for this event, thus making possible the transmission of the law of Moses and our traditions from generation to generation.

Thanks to the Talmud Torah of the Synagogue, children will be prepared for this important event while teaching them the specificities of the Synagogue.

Our H'azan Mr. Laurent ELGUIR also provides a more specific preparation for the reading of the Torah and the prayers of the office during the year preceding the bar / bat mitzvah, according to the demand and possibilities of the H 'azan. For any information please send an email.

To book the date of your child's bar / bat mitzvah, please contact the Secretariate who will give you all the practicalities.

You can also book one of our rooms (Salle Gilbert Guedj or Salon David Halimi) or the hall of the Synagogue, to then celebrate your convivial / family moment:

  • After laying tefillin, for a breakfast,
  • After the bat mitzvah of your daughter, for a snack,
  • After the bar mitzvah of Saturday lunch for a Kiddush / lunch,

Look at the Rooms available in the page Rooms available.
