One of a shliach’s greatest joys is officiating at the wedding of a young couple about to embark on establishing their own Jewish home. This holy task is not undertaken lightly; it takes knowledge and training to be qualified to perform a marriage.

Each Chosson and Kallah comes to the Chuppah with their own unique background and circumstances. Important questions can (and often do) arise at any point in the process, and the officiating rabbi needs to know how to proceed with knowledge and sensitivity.
Lemaan Yilmedu’s Hilchos Chuppa V’Kiddushin course is tailor designed to impart the necessary information. It covers vital halachos in the process, including who may marry whom, how to ascertain that someone is Jewish, and how to properly fill in a kesubah.
Registration is still open for the course, which is taught by Rabbi Mordechai Farkash, author of Seder Chuppah V’Kiddushin.
Weekly online classes for this comprehensive course take place over the course of a year. The participants journey through the evolution of the halachos, from the Gemara to the Shulchan Aruch to responsa of modern day Rabbanim, gaining insight into how they dealt with complicated situations and unique challenges.
Participants who complete the course receive a certificate recognized by the Israeli Rabbanut, qualifying them to serve as Mesader Kiddushin at any wedding in the world. The certificate is signed by prominent Rabbanim from America and Israel.
