“Our wedding and wedding weekend was the most incredible experience we’ve ever been through, and we really owe a lot of this to you. You were such a joy to work with, and you helped us connect with each other and ourselves in a deeper, more thoughtful way….We’ll never forget that conversation in the warmth of your home, surrounded with your happy children, and with your understanding husband standing by. It was a special moment… moving and touching. Beyond that moment, we couldn’t have asked for a more intimate and “us” ceremony – everything about it felt authentic and right. We could go on and on about how wonderful our wedding was and the foundational role you played in it and our relationship, but for now, please take this note as our heartfelt appreciation for everything you’ve done for us.” -AJ and Amber
“Rabbi Margie Jacobs was a phenomenal officiant. My wife and I made a decision to have a Jewish wedding a month before the wedding. We originally had plans to have a low-key wedding with one of our friends being the officiant, but then decided otherwise and on short notice Rabbi Margie was nothing short of fantastic.
She was incredibly responsive in her communication and she was always available to talk. More than her impeccable quality of service, responsiveness, professionalism, and flexibility, the aspect of Rabbi Margie that my wife and I were most thankful for was her value. She asked thought-provoking questions and helped my wife and I make our wedding the most special and unique experience in my life. Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend Rabbie Margie.”-AJ
“Rabbi Margie made our wedding so personal and beautiful. It was commented by many that it was the “sweetest wedding they had ever been too.” She went above and beyond to make our day amazing! I would highly recommend her.”-Tori
“Dear Margie, Thank you so very much for being such an important part of our perfect day. Everything from beginning to end was more than we could have ever asked for, and you certainly helped make that happen. We really do appreciate your getting to know us, and helping to create a ceremony that was unique to us.”
“It was wonderful working with Rabbi Margie. Thanks to her, our wedding ceremony felt so personal and touching. She worked with us all year long to prepare for the big day, not only for the wedding, but for marriage.”
“We want to thank you for today. Your presence, calmness, and ability to transcend the moment was an uplifting experience for us. Your wisdom about tradition as well as parenting was very comforting for us. We are very happy to have connected with you- it meant a lot to us.” – Adam and Veronica
“Working with Margie for our wedding was an absolute joy. We had several meetings with her to plan throughout the year, and she always helped us keep perspective about what was important, sacred, and beautiful about going through this rite of passage together. Our ceremony was perfect and exactly what we wanted. Margie really captured the essence of who we are, our passions and values. She was extremely accessible and easy to work with, and I felt like I was getting the experience of being married by my family rabbi, even though we had just met one year prior. I could not recommend her more highly.”- Ali and Tim
“Rabbi Margie is thoughtful and insightful, with a unique way of bringing text alive as a useful tool for everyday living. Through her teaching, I have learned to take better care of myself and my loved ones, using Jewish text as a resource and guide. I have also sought her out as a spiritual teacher, seeking advice on personal matters. She is a deep listener and has always helped with the most sensitive and caring of responses, and helpful recommendations. I highly recommend Rabbi Margie Jacobs for public celebrations and private counseling alike.”
“Rabbi Margie is WONDERFUL! She has such a calming presence. I’ve known her personally and professionally now for years, and it’s always such a joy to learn with her and just be in the same space with her. I felt that she understood our needs beautifully (I’m Jewish and my husband is not) and she was able to translate our feeling and thoughts into a beautiful, inspirational, and very “heimish” celebration that we will remember forever. She is knowledgable and creative, and brings a calming, serene presence to her work. I highly recommend her. I now have been at a number of weddings and baby namings at which she has officiated, and at each one I’ve felt she has facilitated beautifully.”- Heidi
“Your beautiful singing and joyful presence added so much to our wedding ceremony.” -Rachel and Roger
“A big thank you for the gorgeous naming ceremony. It was beautiful and everything I could have wished for.” -Esti
“Rabbi Margie Jacobs was the perfect person to lead our baby-naming ceremony for our daughter. Margie met with us to discuss our wishes for the ceremony as well as our hopes and dreams for our daughter, and helped us make the ceremony both meaningful and personal. It was the perfect mix of tradition, prayer, celebration and song–a perfect welcoming for our wonderful daughter.”
“Thank you for your role in Nadov’s Bar mitzvah. We are still glowing from the event. Wonderful feedback keeps coming in and many people have told us how wonderful you were; how you set the tone.
I am especially happy that you encouraged us to put in the request for single words to describe Nadov. How incredible that was! I want to thank you also for how you worked with both Nadov and me for the past six months. You always had confidence that all would go well and you transmitted that calm clear message. You were able to listen to and understand what we wanted and at the same time inserted your Rabbinical guidance. Thank you again for everything.”
“David’s Bar Mitzvah ceremony went beautifully and perfectly. Our whole family thanks you with all our hearts for helping David get to this point in his life with such success.” -Fran
“Margie was a tremendous support for us during both good times and bad. She brings much spirituality to her rabbinate, and gets congregants to look deeply within themselves.” -Joel and Pam
“Rabbi Margie Jacobs was exceptionally supportive and sensitive towards our family’s loss following the tragic and untimely death of our younger sister. Rabbi Jacobs not only officiated beautifully during the funeral, she also left us with a continuum of Jewish wisdom and human compassion in the first steps of our journey of loss and healing.”
