The paper says that recent efforts by three leading rabbis to construct a kosher wedding ceremony is drawing criticism for replicating aspects of the Jewish wedding rite that they consider sexist.

“In a way it’s a shame, there is an opportunity for a less problematic, more contemporary liturgy,” Jay Michaelson, founding director of Nehirim, a lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Jewish group, tells the publication.
