Amazing Rabbi and Forever Friend!

Rabbi Kenneth Block was one of the most amazing people I've had the pleasure to meet. He provided our premarital counseling and was able to do weekly conversion classes for a full year. My husband and I got to know Rabbi Block very well over the year! However, even if you don't have weekly calls with Rabbi Block you'll still feel incredibly comfortable with him! He saves every single wedding he officiates so that you have a huge amount of samples to guide you while formulating your script. He guides you through the process and is incredibly accessible throughout. He was so witty, personable, and loving during the ceremony. We consider him a wonderful, lifelong friend!

Reform Jewish Ceremony - LOVE THIS GUY!

Rabbi Block is a damn delight. His zest for life really shines through in everything he does. We had a Jewish ceremony with many non-Jewish guests; Rabbi Block did an excellent job of making everyone feel welcome and included. We got so many compliments regarding the ceremony. I would hire him again in a heartbeat.

Rabbi Block was a great choice as the officiant for our wedding. I have always known that I wanted a Jewish wedding, but was worried about finding a rabbi who would be willing to marry an interfaith couple. Not only did Rabbi Block marry us, but he also helped us through the ceremony-writing process, giving us helpful information and inspiration along the way.

My husband and I loved working with Rabbi Block! He helped us to create a ceremony that was really meaningful and recommended a few additional aspects to the ceremony that our guests absolutely loved. He also has a great personality and officiating style- our parents and our guests raved about him afterwards. Highly recommend Rabbi Block!

Rabbi Block was a terrific find! I was worried about finding someone to perform an interfaith marriage, and have a ceremony that fulfilled the Jewish traditions but was relatable to our non-Jewish guests. Rabbi Block worked with us to plan the perfect ceremony and was fully open to any customization we wanted. I also inquired about some pre-maritial counselling and he met with us to do some counselling as we planned the service. Our guests absolutely loved the ceremony. He interjected jokes throughout the ceremony that kept our guests laughing and engaged and kept us relaxed and having fun. We highly recommend Rabbi Block to anyone looking for a fun a relatable ceremony.

Rabbi Block provides top-notch quality service! He was very generous and flexible with our busy schedules. We had a great time getting to know him, and we are so grateful for his service to officiate our marriage. We were able to tell right away that he is so welcoming of any two individuals who wish to be united as a couple. Thank you Rabbi Block!

My husband and I had a wonderful experience working with Rabbi Block. My husband is a Hindu and I come from a Jewish background and Rabbi Block helped us create a ceremony that pulled from both traditions. He was fun, light-hearted and provided clear explanations of the rituals that we included in our ceremony. He provided us with information and resources so that we didn't need to figure out everything from scratch, which was incredibly helpful. The first thing people say to me when they mention our wedding was how much they appreciated the ceremony and how grateful they were to feel they really understand why we were doing what we were doing. Rabbi Block was easy and wonderful to work with, practical, reasonable, and warm-hearted. One of the reasons he is so great is because it is very clear how much performing the ceremony means to him. It can be challenging to negotiate an interfaith ceremony and we are so happy we found him. I give him my highest recommendation.

Rabbi Ken was amazing to work with from our very first meeting to the he married us and thereafter. He was incredibly easy to talk to, very understanding and truly knowledgable in conducting various types of ceremonies. He allowed us to customize our ceremony to represent the two of us and our beliefs and he established an excellent balance between our faiths and implemented the traditions we felt were important, all while keeping it sweet and lighthearted. He so very beautifully explained all of the traditions to our guests during the ceremony.
Rabbi Ken was always available to help and advise us when we needed it most and he was able and willing to work with us even with our tight schedule. He gave great direction when we needed it most and was able to provide us with tons of examples and sample ceremonies to make our research that much easier. Rabbi Ken even went the extra mile to help us with some useful tips for our Ketubah translation. On the day of the ceremony just his presence was incredibly calming to be around, so relaxed and on point with everything. He really was a delight to work with and I would highly recommend Rabbi On The Go.

We loved working with Rabbi Block. We wanted to make our ceremony unique and reflective of us as a couple. Rabbi Block encouraged us to do whatever we felt was right and helped guide us when we had questions. For example, I knew I wanted to incorporate a family Bible but didn't know how. He had the exact words to help. He was a pleasure to work with. Our ceremony was beautiful and exactly what we wanted. It was even pretty funny too. I would recommend Rabbi Block to anyone!

Working with Rabbi Block was wonderful. Throughout every step of the process, from helping us figure out which Jewish traditions we wanted to incorporate, to creating the Jewish part of the ceremony, he was extremely helpful and very easy to work with. He was very responsive to both email and phone calls. He was very flexible and allowed us to customize our ceremony into being exactly what we wanted it to be.
