Rabbi Naomi Efrat
Jewish Weddings & Bar/Bat Mitzvah Ceremonies in Israel
Planning a Reform wedding in Israel and dreaming of a ceremony that is personal, meaningful, and filled with depth?
You’ve always imagined the moment you’ll stand beneath the huppah — loving, present, gazing into each other’s eyes, closer than ever before.
Your wedding ceremony should reflect everything you truly believe in:
equality, feminism, mutual respect, and the celebration of love in every color, shape, and gender.
As a Reform rabbi in Israel, I create egalitarian, inclusive, and deeply personal Jewish wedding ceremonies for couples from Israel and around the world. Whether you envision a ceremony by the sea, in Jerusalem, in nature, or in an intimate garden setting, your huppah will be crafted around your story, your values, and your voice.
If you are looking for:
-
A Reform Jewish wedding in Israel
-
An egalitarian rabbi for your ceremony
-
A feminist, LGBTQ+ inclusive Jewish wedding
-
A ceremony in English and/or Hebrew
-
A meaningful alternative to the Orthodox Rabbinate
-
A personalized ketubah rooted in shared values
— you are in the right place.
Your wedding should not feel like a template. It should feel like you.
Let’s create a huppah that is authentic, joyful, thoughtful, and unforgettable.
You've always imagined the moment you'll stand under the canopy: loving, gazing eye to eye, closer than ever.
It's SO important that this moment gives significant time and space to everything you believe in: EQUALITY, FEMINISM, RESPECT, celebrating love in every color, shape and gender.
Our Reform Jewish wedding preparation process in Israel includes three in-depth sessions designed to create a ceremony that is personal, meaningful, and fully aligned with your values:
1. A Deep Personal Journey Session
We begin by getting to know you as individuals and as a couple — from childhood stories to the moment you met, your journey of falling in love, and your shared hopes and dreams for the future. This conversation forms the emotional and spiritual foundation of your personalized Reform wedding ceremony.
2. Creating Your Egalitarian Ketubah
Together, we craft a custom Reform ketubah rooted in Jewish tradition and contemporary egalitarian values. Through the study of ancient and modern Jewish texts, we build a document that reflects equality, mutual commitment, and your unique voice. Your ketubah can be bilingual (Hebrew/English) and fully tailored to your partnership — including LGBTQ+ inclusive language.
3. Designing and Preparing Your Wedding Ceremony
We carefully shape every element of your Reform wedding ceremony in Israel — from the structure under the huppah to personal vows, readings, music, and ritual choices. You will feel confident, prepared, and fully present on your wedding day.
This is not a standard template.
It is a thoughtful, guided process for couples seeking an egalitarian, feminist, and inclusive Jewish wedding in Israel, officiated by a Reform rabbi who honors your story and your shared future.

" We were so lucky to have Rabbi Naomi Efrat officiate at our wedding. As a couple, we knew Rabbi Naomi from Kehilat Halev, the Reform community she is leading. We fell in love with how warm, approachable, and caring she was, and couldn’t imagine a better rabbi for our wedding. We had three personal meetings with her in order to craft a personal and egalitarian ceremony. With the help of Rabbi Naomi, the ceremony touched our hearts and souls, and our guests loved witnessing it.
We will keep in touch with Rabbi Naomi, and we hope to see her in our future simchas! "
