Ordained at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, America's seminary of Reform Judaism, Rabbi Jay Heyman offers Jewish resources (life-cycle ceremonies, education, and counseling) to those whose needs are not met by exisiting institutions. This includes Jews who are part of interfaith relationships as well as their non-Jewish partners and family members. It also includes those for whom Judaism is a part--but not all--of how they identify themselves.

Rabbi Jay Heyman performs meaningful, personalized, joyful ceremonies in Northern California and throughout the United States.

"One of the greatest privileges of my profession is being invited into the lives of two people during one of the most powerful moments in their relationship. Being chosen to publicly proclaim and share the love they have for one another with them and their families is an uplifting and awesome experience, one not to be taken lightly. And I take it very seriously."

"Your wedding is perhaps the most personal occasion of your life together and, as such, it should reflect you beliefs and values. If you envision a ceremony that helps define both bride and groom, I can help. If you seek a ceremony that you feel is perfect for the occasion, I can help. Please feel free to get in touch with me for guidance and counsel."

Your wedding, the way you want it.

"Together we will make your wedding unique, a personal and heartfelt declaration of your love and devotion." Some couples stand by tradition and feel comfortable with words handed down through the ages. Other couples like to borrow a bit here from the tradtitional ceremony and a bit there from a favorite poem. You have many options and it is my intention to help you explore those choices and produce the ceremony that works for you."

"Flexibility, care, meaning are the hallmarks of my career. I have helped hundreds of couples create the kind of ceremony they want and need. Part of my work is helping couples clarify what is really important and meaningful for them. Equally important, though, is a thorough understanding of the wedding ceremony as a public declaration of the commitment they are making to one another, their families, and their communities."

His ceremonies are transformative, and his words are filled with the love, support and empathy he feels for brides, grooms, and their families.



"My intention is to provide a ceremony and a service that matches seamlessly with your wishes and needs. My years of experience working with diverse couples throughout the country enhances my ability to help, and allows me to bring a sense of friendship and love to this most important event."

"Accept my best wishes for a life together filled with meaning and beauty. No matter whether your ceremony is religious or civil, spiritual or secular, formal or informal, indoors or outdoors, lavish or simple, I pray that it is one that refects your higest aspirations and deepest values. Live long and prosper!"
