חתונה ישראלית חילונית
טקס חתונה ישראלי חילוני נובע מן המקורות התרבותיים של החוגגים, מארץ המוצא ומהמנהגים ומהמסורות שבני הזוג מביאים איתם. כל אלה בשילוב עם הסמלים והטקסטים הנבחרים על ידי בני הזוג מעניקים את ההשראה לטקס.
כך נוצרת האוירה הייחודית לטקס חילוני המשלבת את ערכי החברה הישראלית עם אלו של בעלי השמחה, המשפחה והחברים.

כחילונים איננו מקדשים את הנוסח המסורתי וכך מתאפשר לבני הזוג לבחור מה מתוך מרכיבי טקס החתונה המסורתי מתאים להם ומבטא את זהותם.

A secular wedding ceremony or "equal wedding" ceremony stems from Israeli secular culture and expresses clear values.
Some define secularism in a negative way, meaning lack of faith, but the truth is that the secular worldview is based on beliefs no less strong than beliefs in religion and halacha.
Secular beliefs:
Belief in humanism - the concept that places the person and their life at the center.
The belief in equality, justice for all, and pluralism, meaning the tolerant attitude and acceptance of differences and diversity between people and groups in society.
The belief in personal sovereignty, meaning the right and duty of every person and every group to determine their own way of life independently and independently.
The belief in modernity, progress, and science, that is, the recognition that human reason can explore nature, society, and man.

A secular wedding ceremony expresses and celebrates these values, places the people participating in the ceremony, not faith in God, at the center, is not held in a fixed and rigid format, but is designed by the couple and is unique to them, stems from Jewish tradition but examines it with modern tools and adapts it to our lives in today's Israel.

Heading 3

I accompany you from planning and designing your wedding ceremony, through the learning process you will go through in preparation for the wedding, to the exciting moments under the canopy.

A secular Israeli wedding , a wedding of equal value, is an exciting, one-time ceremonial occasion that is different in its format and essence from a religious marriage ceremony, as each couple creates their own unique wedding ceremony.

On Judaism as a culture:

"I believe in human beings, in our power, in our creativity, in our ability to overcome obstacles, in the laws of morality, equality and justice, in the power of science and pluralistic and humanist ideas - which leads to a cultured, enlightened and fair society."

I believe in Judaism as a culture, constantly changing, and not as a religion, fixed by the laws of Halacha.

My Judaism is flexible and context-dependent. My Judaism yesterday morning is different from my Judaism tonight.

I believe that women should be given the opportunity to respectfully join my culture, to marry and be born into my culture, without the humiliating processes of Orthodox conversion, the institutional demand to erase identity and hide the culture from which a person who is not Jewish according to Halacha came.

"I don't need proof, denial of the past, of previous traditions, of spiritual essence and personal story to accept new members into my club."

"For better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health"

Even though I walk through the valley of Zelmaveth, I will fear no evil, for you are my support; your rod and your strength, these are they that comfort me. Psalm 23:4
