Rabbi Altman was such a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. He was kind and caring and created a beautiful ceremony. Thank you Rabbi
Rabbi David Altman performed a beautiful Jewish ceremony for my husband and I. I am from an interfaith family (Jewish-Catholic) and my husband's family is Catholic. Rabbi David Altman did a magnificent job at making everyone feel comfortable and explaining each Jewish tradition so that everybody felt included. He added some humor into the ceremony, which helped to ease nerves and make it feel natural. He really allowed our personalities to shine through and I could not recommend him more! He is a perfect rabbi for an interfaith or Jewish ceremony- highly recommend!
Beautiful ceremony, loved working with him
Rabbi David Altman is such an amazing man! From the minute we found out about him and reached out to him he really made us feel so special! We had a bunch of video chats with him and my husband and I instantly clicked with him and knew he was the one we wanted to marry us! He has such a kind gentle soul and always has a huge smile on his face! He really listened to us and what type of ceremony we were looking for! I would highly recommend Rabbi Altman!
If you are looking for a Rabbi to perform an incredibly meaningful, interfaith Jewish wedding ceremony, look no further!!! I cannot even tell you how many of my guests approached me after my ceremony to tell me how impressed they were with the Rabbi - I lost count!! And many of these guests were not even Jewish themselves!!! He explained every aspect of the ceremony rituals (breaking of the glass, etc) to make the ceremony accessible and enjoyable for all guests. He also infused some humor into it (but only when appropriate) - he was absolutely hilarious and his jokes landed perfectly. I also really loved his infusion of keballah - he touched on the Jewish idea of two souls starting as one, breaking off and then finding each other again. It was so beautiful and I truly could not have asked for a better Rabbi. We feel so blessed to have found Rabbi Altman!!!
Dmitry and I feel extremely happy with our wedding ceremony. As an interfaith couple, we wanted to work with someone who understood that love transcends all. Rabbi Altman struck the right balance of tradition, humor, and romance in his ceremony. I would absolutely recommend his services to any couple who want to honor the past and their future.
Rabbi David Altman is the BEST! He created a very beautiful and elegant ceremony for us! We had an interfaith marriage and he really took the time to get to know us and work with us to design the ceremony that would be perfect for us! I would highly recommend him!
