About TacklingTorah

Rabbi Elyssa Cherney

Rabbi

On wedding day, you grow your community by joining two families together. I make sure you don't miss the opportunity to feel hope, love and a spark of holiness. Marriage is a moment in our lives where we are vulnerable with hearts wide-open! I create deeply personalized ceremonies, get to know you both and show up ready to help you feel present on your special day. In pre-marital counseling, I guide you through questions that will come up throughout your marriage. I show up ready to take you through this moment in your life and share your love story with your community. My ultimate goal is to support you through a lifelong marriage!

I have been a top officiant in Philadelphia and surrounding areas for a number of years. I build lifelong relationships with the families I serve and act as a guide on their spiritual journeys. I can't wait to get to know you and the hopes and dreams you have for the family you're building!

In three words: Fun, Reassuring, Supportive

    We loved working with Rabbi Elyssa! We had a Jewish-Hindu interfaith wedding, co-officiated by Rabbi Elyssa and a Hindu priest, and we are so grateful to her for the thoughtfulness, open-mindedness, and execution/organization that she brought to the planning process. We'd highly recommend Rabbi Elyssa to anyone planning a traditional or nontraditional Jewish ceremony -- for the latter, especially, we found that there are very few people like her. We are so glad we had her as a part of our wedding!

    Rabbi Elyssa was incredibly supportive throughout wedding planning. She provided one-on-one sessions for marriage counseling and took the time to not only explain the Jewish wedding traditions but helped us create our own unique ceremony. One of our favorite parts of our wedding was our Ketubah signing ceremony where she held space for us to catch our breath before we walked down the aisle. Rabbi Elyssa also did a magnificent job co-hosting an interfaith union. Finally, she made herself available as we navigate our first year of marriage together. We highly recommend Rabbi Elyssa for your future wedding!
