Tying the Knot: A Pre-Marriage Workshop for Couples October 25, 2009

Tough economic times may provide an opportunity for engaged couples to focus less on the material aspects of the wedding and more on the spiritual journey of getting married. With a grant from the United Jewish Endowment Fund, the Washington DCJCC and the JCC of Northern Virginia present Tying the Knot: Workshop for Couples. The workshops are professionally facilitated and – unlike most aspects of the wedding – reasonably priced!
“We wanted to provide a space for couples to explore a variety of issues, including marital roles and expectations; religion and spirituality; personality differences, communication styles, money and finances.” says Sarah Gershman, a Jewish educator at the Leo & Anna Smilow Center for Jewish Living and Learning at the Washington DCJCC. “We are finding that couples are searching for ways to emotionally and spiritually prepare for marriage – and in a context where they can meet other couples well.” The groups will run in the fall of 2009 and winter 2010
