CHATAN V’KALLAH

Yesterday, Ms. Rachel Gutterman and Mr. Micha Weinberger married. Just another wedding on a summer Sunday? Perhaps. But what made this wedding special is that Rachel is the office manager of the UTJ. Rachel’s is the desk where the administrative buck stops. Her bubbly personality, willingness to tackle any task, and her ability to truly multi-task by doing six different things at once have all made Rachel into quite the indisposable person around the “U.” So, for us, yesterday’s wedding was indeed a very special event.

The nups took place at the Hilton Hotel in Cherry Hill, NJ. Were we to guess, we would have to say that over 400 people attended. Seeing that many people dance and dance and dance was just amazing!

The “shmorg” was-as always at Jewish affairs- a feast in and of itself. There was just about every kind of food of you could think of: Sephardic food, Chinese food, BBQ food, carving stations, pasta stations, crudites and more crudites. And on and on.

Dinner began with what my kids like to call “backyard salad,” so called because it sure looks like our backyard! The house dressing was most delicious. There were vegetable pate filled pastry doughs served with a yellow sauce for an appetizer. The main course was a stuffed, boneless chicken breast. The stuffing was wild rice and mashed potatoes. More mashed potatoes and baby carrots served alongside made for a pretty dish. The chicken was excellent, by the way.

As the evening wore on, Mr. Yoel Sharabi’s music continued to move the crowd to its feet time and time again. It seemed as if the party had just begun when they brought the dessert selections to the table……… It was a magical night.

We should mention that Rachel was a beautiful bride, and Micha was a glowing groom as they began their life together. We wish them “ad mayah v’esrim- onehundredtwenty years of happiness.”
