We can't thank you enough for your patience, understanding, and warmth. You provided us with the confidence to embrace this special occasion in a way only you could have. We are so very appreciative of the lifelong memories you helped us make today.
Even in the midst of mourning, I wanted to briefly take a moment to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the extraordinary care you provided for me and my family in the days of my mother's funeral. Your words of eulogy were comforting, your presence was calm and soothing, and your words were a source of great consolation. I feel very blessed that we were able to be served by such an excellent rabbi. My gratitude is endless.
We can not express how much we appreciate EVERYTHING that you did for Leor's bar mitzvah. From meeting with him (and us) to writing his speech with him, running the service, and creating that beautiful blessing for the rabbis to read — you really made the bar mitzvah special and meaningful. It was so wonderful to know that you took care of everything so that our family could enjoy the day without any worries. We are thankful for you. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
Thank you so very very much for all your hard work, which entailed extensive research to prepare a beautiful 'Women's Seder Experience'… I hope we can work together again in the future. Your efforts and devotion to us is greatly appreciated!!
Rabbi Kahn's sermon told a story, connected with both the kids and the adults, and left my girls feeling inspired... not an easy feat at their age. And the mitzvah project brought us back together with several old preschool friends and parents spending time together in a meaningful way like before. It really was special. Please pass our gratitude on to Rabbi Kahn, a true asset to the congregation…
Never has the word perfect been so appropriate! Our wedding day was the most incredible day of our lives, and Rabbi Kahn has so much to do with that. From planning to ceremony, she guided us effortlessly through every step. She explained all of the traditions but also gave us 100% leeway to create our own version of the perfect ceremony. This was important to us, as my husband and I are both creative and wanted to blend tradition with eccentricity. She is a beautiful, poignant speaker and one of the most kind and generous people I've ever met. I love her dearly and am so glad she was there to officiate this special day. She is the perfect officiant and friend!
Rabbi Samantha- wise, warm and welcoming. Rabbi Samantha Kahn is not just an amazing Rabbi, but fun to be around. She has a deep understanding of Judaism's past and a clear vision for how to bring Jewish values for modern life styles. She learned us quickly as individuals and made our wedding flow in a way that worked specifically for us. Rabbi Samantha is skilled at holding the space of what you desire, but asking wise questions to be sure all views are included. She has continued to be a valuable resource for our family. We are so very lucky to have found her.
Interfaith officiant - and much more! Rabbi Kahn is the best! My husband and I were overwhelmed at the prospect of planning our wedding ceremony and navigating the excitement and challenge of combining different traditions to make our ceremony uniquely ours. We found Rabbi Kahn through InterfaithFamily and she immediately made us feel at ease. She is so thoughtful and pleasant to work with. When we had questions, she had answers. She took time to get to know us, met with us regularly leading up to our wedding date and provided us with examples from her experiences that empowered us to make our wedding day everything we wanted. We are very happy to have met Rabbi Kahn. Thank you for making our day (and the whole wedding planning experience) truly special!
Absolutely wonderful. It was great to work with Rabbi Kahn as my now husband and I prepared for our wedding. We learned a lot about each other. Rabbi Kahn was very responsive and understanding about our different faiths and preferences for our ceremony. Everyone at our wedding LOVED the ceremony and have continued to rave about it even months after our wedding.
Amazing. Easy. Kind. Perfect Fit! She was so easy to talk with. I was blown away at how knowledgeable she is on making all of these decisions. We came to her not knowing exactly what we want and when and walked away after our first meeting with her clear about the direction we need to take moving forward. She helped us (me and my now wife) navigate all of the different choices we should make and it was incredible. I can't believe we second guessed this process.
Rabbi Kahn is warm and gracious. We love her! Rabbi Kahn made my non-Jewish husband feel very comfortable. She explained all traditions to our guests during our beautiful ceremony. She went out of her way to get to know us and make our ceremony very personalized. Rabbi Kahn also helped with our Ketubah and readings and came early to get acquainted with our family. We couldn't have asked for more. So happy to have found her!
Warmth and Personal Touch. Rabbi Samantha Kahn has an incredible ability of incorporating both sides of the wedding party into one big family. She takes the time to get to know the bride and the groom to personalize the service for their needs. Stories and prayers that pertain to the couple, are included in the service. Rabbi Kahn is professional and warm. My husband and I highly recommend her.
Fantastic Interfaith Rabbi (with some humor). Rabbi Kahn was the perfect officiant for our interfaith wedding. Initially, she was supposed to be our match-maker for other rabbis, but after the initial call, we both were like 'can we pick you?' Rabbi Kahn was great. She was fantastic. She was funny. She was sassy. She excels at making sure that everyone can relate to what she was saying (which was good because 95% of our audience was not Jewish). Highly recommend. (Be sure to ask her about do-si-do-ing the seventh circle.)
