Yesterday I had the pleasure of photographing a TRIPLE wedding at Washington Hebrew Congregation! These Israeli couples could not or would not legally marry in Israel under the auspices of the ultra-Orthodox Chief Rabbinate for three different reasons: one couple is gay, the second couple has one partner that Israel’s Chief Rabbinate does not consider to be Jewish, the third couple rejects the Rabbinate’s rigid control over Jewish marriage. There are currently 800,000 Israelis who are denied the basic right to marry. Fortunately Israel does recognize marriages performed outside the country, so these beautiful couples are now official!
