Op-Ed: Dancing at My Daughter’s Wedding with Rubashkin on My Mind

by Rabbi Shmuley Boteach

With one week left to the wedding of my eldest child, I am looking forward not so much to the occasion as to simply seeing my daughter married to her fiancé. I want to dance with abandon at my daughter’s celebration, but I am an informal person and the formality of a wedding leaves me cold. I’m fortunate that most of the heavy lifting has been done by people much more responsible than me. My wife, whose husband abandoned her to the labor. Eddie Izzo, the gentlemanly and professional head of Main Event Catering, Penny Rabinowitz of Save the Day Events, and finally the Rockleigh Country Club, who are black belts at Jewish weddings.
