Ronald Broden
I am Rabbi Ronald Broden, and my work is dedicated to helping individuals and families celebrate life’s most meaningful moments with authenticity, warmth, and a deep sense of Jewish tradition. For many years, I have had the privilege of officiating Jewish and interfaith weddings, as well as private Bar and Bat Mitzvahs for families who are unaffiliated with a synagogue or who prefer to hold their ceremony at a time and location that is meaningful to them. My approach is flexible, inclusive, and deeply personal. I provide all educational guidance and preparation needed for each ceremony—whether it’s learning prayers, understanding rituals, or exploring the foundations of Judaism. My goal is to ensure that every individual or family feels confident, supported, and fully connected to the significance of their moment. Beyond weddings and B’nai Mitzvahs, I also lead baby naming ceremonies and funerals, conducted in a respectful and liberal Jewish manner that honors tradition while embracing the needs of modern families. Sharing knowledge is a passion of mine. I actively create online resources and educational content to help people better understand Jewish rituals, lifecycle events, and interfaith connections. Whether someone is exploring Judaism for the first time or deepening their relationship with it, I believe knowledge should be accessible, meaningful, and welcoming.
