There are moments in our lives where we are deeply vulnerable, such as joining together in marriage. At these times, we invite our communities to surround us to help us learn and grow. When we mark these special moments in our lives, we have the opportunity to feel hope, love and a spark of holiness.

“Rabbi Elyssa was the beam of light on the day of our wedding.

My husband and I were having a particularly chaotic moment and came into the ketubah signing just a wee bit overwhelmed. She took us into a private section of the venue, didn’t let anyone talk to us for 5 minutes and literally had us holding hands and meditating. We were both immediately calmed, more in touch with the joy that was this day and felt connected to each other despite the chaos ensuing around us. We tell everyone that she saved the day.

We will both be forever grateful to Rabbi Elyssa for ensuring our day was special and meaningful and grounding us to remember the whole reason we were there in the first place!”
