I attended a Jewish wedding two weeks ago. The groom, and his family, are Iraqi Jews, recently arrived, and they brought "their" rabbis from Long Island. The bride is from a "secular" USA Jewish family. The rabbis' homilies during the service, and the groom's father's comments (a short sermon) at the reception, were all about the family, how many children the bride had to have (she actually laughed out loud at that comment), what she had to do to make her husband successful, etc. There was none of the usual fluffy love stuff one might hear at a wedding. And, yes, Tina, faith and family in traditional cultures are tightly interwoven. Ken -- The Rev.
