Frequently Asked Questions

Can you officiate a Jewish wedding if one partner is not Jewish?

Yes. I regularly officiate interfaith weddings, adapting each ceremony while maintaining a meaningful Jewish framework.

Is a Jewish wedding legally valid in Spain?

In most cases, couples complete the civil marriage in their country of residence and celebrate a Jewish or interfaith ceremony in Spain.

A traditional Jewish ceremony includes the signing of the ketubah, which has religious and symbolic significance.

In some cases, it is possible to combine the civil and ceremonial aspects if a legally authorized officiant, such as a local official, participates in the ceremony. This depends on the municipality and must be arranged in advance.

Can I organize a religious wedding in Barcelona?

Yes. Many couples choose to complete the legal part in their home country and celebrate a fully personalized Jewish or interfaith religious ceremony in Barcelona.

In which languages can you perform the ceremony?

Ceremonies can be conducted in English, Spanish, Hebrew and Portuguese.

Can the ceremony be personalized?

Yes. Every ceremony is fully adapted to your story, background and preferences.
