“Working with Rabbi Klein resulted in a wedding that was beautiful, meaningful, and memorable.  We both agree that the ceremony was our favorite part of the wedding. In the months leading up to our wedding date, Rabbi Klein met with us several times. She took time to explain the order and meaning of each part of the Jewish ceremony. She was well prepared, communicative outside of the meetings, proactive about logistical detail, and sensitive to our desires throughout the process. Rabbi Klein achieved a balance that made the ceremony as special and new for us as it was for everyone in attendance, without adding stress of too many unknowns.” – B and E

“Rabbi Lori officiated at an online memorial for my mother. When she planned the event with us, she listened and asked questions to understand what was important to various family members. Then she suggested prayers and other program ideas tuned to what she heard from us, including our levels of religious observance. Her leadership of our planning meeting and at the memorial itself was gentle yet confident and reassuring.”      – AK
