✨ Getting Started

One of the first steps in planning your simcha is selecting your wedding date.
To confirm the availability of your desired date and time please contact:

📧 Hillary Wenk – [email protected]
📞 847-432-2040 

You will then have the opportunity to speak with one of our Rabbis, who will guide you through the process and ensure your date is aligned with Jewish law and tradition.

We are pleased to host wedding ceremonies at Beth El and welcome the participation of other Rabbis and Hazzanim. Our clergy are also honored to officiate at weddings held at outside venues.

🕍 The Aufruf: Honoring Your Simcha

As part of your celebration, we invite you to take part in an Aufruf, a special Shabbat morning honor during which the engaged couple is called to the Torah for an aliyah and a rabbinic blessing.

The Aufruf typically takes place the Shabbat before the wedding and is a meaningful way to include family and friends in your joy, often followed by a celebratory Kiddush.

📞 To schedule an Aufruf, contact Lori Solomon, Executive Assistant, at 847-432-8900, ext. 221.
