 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our ceremony was beautiful, and that was largely thanks to Ron being our rabbi. It was the perfect mix of English, Hebrew, tradition and contemporary wisdom. We had reviewed what he would say before, but hearing it in person, accompanied by his amazing voice, makes it far more meaningful.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ron did a phenomenal job listening and making my wedding ceremony perfect. My husband and I were nervous on how an interfaith ceremony would go, but Ron nailed it. He focused more on love, commitment, unity, family and sprinkled in bits of both of our religions. He made it personal with a few jokes and my family and friends gave us so many compliments on how great the ceremony was. We could not have been happier!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot say enough wonderful, amazing things about Rabbi Broden. Not only did he organize, create and of course officiate our daughter’s Bat Mitzvah, but he made each and every step so incredibly easy. From giving us options of ceremonies to setting us up with a Hebrew tutor, to preparing our daughter, he was organized, generous with his time, and helpful at every turn. Planning was stress-free and even enjoyable! And that was just the lead up to the actual day. My daughter’s Bat Mitzvah was the most heartfelt and meaningful service I have ever been a part of. He made sure everyone was included and had a meaningful part, and his Torah reading and singing were just beautiful. I highly, highly, highly recommend Rabbi Broden for any ceremony and occasion. Our experience was just perfect.
