They can read the phonetic hebrew!</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/who-should-we-have-bless-the-challahmeal#post-626443 Sun, 17 Jan 2010 20:21:43 +0000 amlo 626443@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I am in the process of converting and I am not too sure who we should have bless the challah...the rabbi suggested a member of the family, such as an uncle or grandfather. My family is not of Jewish faith and my fiances grandfather is not one to stand and make a blessing in hebrew, nor is the remainder of his family Jewish...so should the rabbi do so...or should we ask someone who means a lot to us both?</p>
