Destination Bar Mitzah

Thank you for teaching me Hebrew, for giving me a mezuzah and traveling through a hurricane to reach me and for putting up with my nonsense commentary.

We could not have been more happy having Rabbi Barry as our officiant for our wedding. He met with us several times to get to know us as a couple to personalize our ceremony. The guests could not stop talking about how much they loved him. He made us laugh, cry, and fall in love with our ceremony. I would highly recommend him to anyone. His love and inclusivity for all types of couples and marriages was inspiring. As a same sex couple, we didn’t feel like this was a same-sex wedding but a wedding honored and represented like any other wedding. But at the same time personalized just for us.

We loved Rabbi Barry! He was a fantastic teacher to my husband who converted before our wedding, and very flexible in his weekly classes. He worked with us on FaceTime all the way in Colorado. We really enjoyed that he tailored the ceremony to our tastes, and incorporated our personalities. Everyone loved the service and thought Rabbi Barry did a great job. He's also very funny!

Rabbi Barry officiated our nondenominational ceremony and we’re so grateful for him. He created a beautiful ceremony for us and his presence put us at ease (not easy to do for two people who aren’t used to being the center of attention). He’s a warm, kind officiant who helped us feel connected on a day that often feels like a blur.

I am so lucky to have found Rabbi Barry. We hired him about a year before the wedding, and he checked in often to see how we were doing throughout the planning process. I only met him in person one time before the wedding but through all the emailing, I felt like I knew him really well. He is also the type of person that after just meeting him, you feel like you’ve known him your whole life. He shakes hands on the first meeting, after that it’s all hugging! He kept our ceremony short and kept our guests entertained with his sense of humor and guest participation. All of my guests loved him. We loved him!

Rabbi Bary was wonderful to work with! We would highly recommend him for a Jewish or interfaith wedding. My husband and I had an interfaith ceremony and Rabbi Barry was very understanding of our goals and vision for the ceremony. He was very flexible and worked with us to achieve our vision. He also has a great sense of humor and made the process and ceremony fun and light hearted! We truly enjoyed working with him!
