Our Clients Say
"Rabbi Rudin might be the kindest person I've ever met. Throughout our engagement, we met with her periodically to check in- two of these meetings were with her at her home, where she welcomed us in and made us feel like old friends. My husband Dan is Jewish and we wanted to have a Jewish ceremony, but I was not raised Jewish. She warmly officiated our wedding, and patiently educated my Irish Catholic mother on all the details related to the Ketubah signing and ceremony. Furthermore, during our engagement, my mother was battling leukemia. Rabbi Rudin visited with my parents and checked in about my mom often, always asking about her progress and including them in her prayers. She was always so responsive and supportive, and always made time for us, always making us feel like the most important people, even while juggling her own home and family life. We are so appreciative of everything, and will recommend her to everybody."
