Margee’s same-sex marriage was an expression of love, Judaism and equality. She and her partner created gender-appropriate language, altering some of the words in the ceremony that “can be interpreted in a way that is not necessarily empowering for same-sex couples.” They “reframed” traditional language and with their union, affirmed that despite not being what some people would consider a traditional Jewish couple, they were indeed a Jewish couple. Margee and her partner are just like many couples who are minorities in the Jewish community, and they found a way to make their wedding Jewish, beautiful and authentic for their union. Mazel tov!
