JEWISH WEDDINGS OFFICIATED BY RABBI ARTHUR SEGAL: TRADITIONAL, INTERFAITH, CO-OFFICIANT, DESTINATION

“One of the Joys of being a Rabbi,” says Rabbi Arthur Segal,” is working closely with the bride and groom and officiating at their wedding.” He can do this with couples living near by or with couples having a destination wedding in the greater beautiful Hilton Head Island area.

Rabbi Arthur Segal helps develop a custom ceremony with the couple so that each word in the ceremony rings true to them. His ceremonies can range from the very traditional to what ever the couples desires. Rabbi opines that this is the couple’s special day, and to treat each wedding as unique.

For those who are having an interfaith wedding, Rabbi takes special care to respect both traditions, again with total input from the couple. He will be pleased to co-officiate at weddings, using non-Trinitarian language.

Rabbi Arthur Segal also will do recommitment marriage ceremonies with the same care as he does weddings.

Rabbi will work closely with the wedding planer and/or caterer to make sure the wedding is seamless, and the bride and groom can totally enjoy themselves on their special day.

Rabbi Arthur Segal is available, and actually prefers, to be at the rehearsal, to ensure all is going smoothly, and to get to know the bridal party, and family, before the actual wedding day.

For those that wish to have a Ketubah, rabbi will work closely to make sure everyone’s name has correct calligraphy on the document, in English and Hebrew, so the signing ceremony is flawless.

For a beautiful gallery of Ketubahs go to JudaicConnection.com (My couples receive a $15 shipping discount)

Rabbi Arthur Segal tries to limit his weddings to Hilton Head, SC, Bluffton, SC, Palmetto Bluff, SC, Savannah, GA, and Charleston, SC, but has been known to make himself available elsewhere, even out of the USA. He will also conduct weddings and recommitment ceremonies on cruise ships.

In keeping with Jewish ethics, if the couple resides in Rabbi Arthur Segal’s town, Rabbi will ask, unless there are some special circumstances, if the couple has first asked the local pulpit rabbi to officiate.

HILTON HEAD JEWISH DESTINATION WEDDINGS: RABBI ARTHUR SEGAL JEWISH WITCHES: RABBI ARTHUR SEGAL: HAPPY CHALLAHWEEN: JEWISH SPIRITUAL RENEWAL JEWISH WITCHES: RABBI ARTHUR SEGAL: HAPPY CHALLAHWEEN: JEWISH SPIRITUAL RENEWAL JEWISH WITCHES: RABBI ARTHUR SEGAL: HAPPY CHALLAHWEEN: JEWISH SPIRITUAL RENEWAL Shalom , Peace and Happy CHALLAHween: We will detour a bit this month from Jewish Ethics and discuss Judaism’s view of witches, apropos the Halloween season. Exodus 22:17 commands us to not let a witch live. Yet we see sorcery and witchcraft throughout the Bible and Rabbinic times. In I Samuel 28, King Saul visited a witch in Ein Dor who used an Ob to raise the prophet Samuel from the dead. Talmud Chagigah 77 tells of Rabbi Simeon who hanged 80 witches at Ashkelon who all lived in a single cave and “harmed the world.” In Pirkei Avot 2:7 Rabbi Hillel says, “the more wives, the more witchcraft.” Rabbi Yose said that one should not say a blessing over a spice from an unknown source “because Jewish women offer incense to witchcraft” (Beracoth 53A). In Eruvin 64A the rabbis teach that while it is a law to pick up bread that one sees on the road, this does not apply now as “Jewish daughters are flagrantly involved in witchcraft” and the bread may be cursed. Women cause dogs to become rabid ( Yoma 83B). When Satan was created he sought a wife to be his partner in evil witchcraft ( Kiddushin 81A). The Zohar states that Satan, in the form of the serpent, had sex with Eve producing Cain. The Midrash Sifre teaches that a man should not be afraid to go into battle against other men, but that he should be fearful of doing battle against a woman and her witchcraft. Sanhedrin 100B explains that when a daughter is old, she will be involved in witchcraft. Pesachim 111A warns us that if we see two women at cross roads facing each other, they are witches. Gitten 45A tells of Rabbi Nachman’ daughters who stirred a boiling pot of witch’s brew with their bare hands. Ironically, the two books of witchcraft of the Talmudic era–Harba de Moshe and Sefer ha Razim–are written by men. In Kiddushin 66B Rabbi Simeon says that “the best of women is filled with witchcraft.” This same Rabbi Simeon who gives us so many examples of women being bad witches was a sorcerer himself! In Me’ilah 17B he exorcised an evil spirit from the emperor’s daughter. In Tractate 38B, Rabbi Simeon turned his opponent into a heap of bones with the evil eye. Thank God, Modern Judaism disavows any of these notions. Happy CHALLAHween! Rabbi Arthur Segal is an international lecturer, author, and teacher. Visit him at www.JewishSpiritualRenewal.org .
