Welcome

Welcome to the homepage of the Rabbinic Center for Research and Counseling.

Founded in 1970, the Rabbinic Center for Research and Counseling is the first organization established to promote research on intermarriage and to serve the needs of intermarrying and intermarried couples.  It is still the only national or international organization that advocates and encourages rabbinic officiation at intermarriage ceremonies. The Rabbinic Center provides a list of rabbis who officiate at intermarriages, conducts and promotes research on intermarriage, offers premarital and marital therapy for intermarried couples and their families, and presents a variety of programs specifically geared to the needs of intermarried couples.  Our most popular programs are the Workshop on Raising Children in the Intermarried Home, and the Sabbath Couples Group.

The Rabbinic Center also serves as an outpatient mental health facility for area residents.  A multi-disciplinary staff of licensed mental health practitioners provide ongoing individual and group psychotherapy, as well as marriage and family therapy, on a sliding fee scale.

Our web site is very new and will continue to grow.  We hope you will stop back and visit often.

Fishbein with the FATHER DAN MONTALBANO AWARD FOR PROMOTING INTERFAITH UNDERSTANDING at its annual conference in San Francisco on August 7-9. Rabbi Allen Secher, who presented the award, lauded Rabbi Fishbein as “the great pioneer” who established an organization to serve the needs of interfaith couples when no other resources were available to them.
