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".
