The latest Jewish news from around the Bay and around the world.

The wedding of Molly Kazin, who is Jewish, and Evan Marshall, who is not, in Holyoke, Massachusetts, on Nov. 20, 2021. Though Kazin grew up in a Conservative congregation, she assumed she could not get a rabbi in the movement to preside at her wedding, and found one through the organization where she works, 18Doors, which supports relationships between Jews and non-Jews.
