Thank you. Shalom. Hello. What is up? What is good? Welcome to How to Be a Jew. I'm your host, Courtney Hazlett, dressed in white because it's wedding season.

And I'm joined by the great Rabbi Diana Furco.

I love a Jewish wedding. Can't wait for this one.

And Josh Cross, your take on weddings. And also, hi.

I mean, weddings are good. So good that I married the same woman twice.

June is wedding season, but sadly in California is one of the cloudiest months of the year.

So every June, I'm always just like feeling kind of bad for the brides who are like,

oh, my great June wedding.

And then it's cloudy and drizzly.

Did you know that about California?

I have no idea.

I've only been to California like twice, sadly. So we got to fix that.

Yeah, we get May Gray followed by June gloom. And it's also the absolute busiest wedding month of the year. So a lot of rainy weddings here, a lot of rainy anniversaries. But that's not what we're here to talk about. We're here to talk about wedding dresses. And fun fact, and I don't think a lot of people know this, but like the wedding dress industry in Israel is lit. There are a lot of incredible

Israeli wedding dress designers. And they've made it here. Why? Like, why did that wind up being

a pocket of success? I think one of the reasons is because we have a trailblazer as our guest today, Pina Tournai, who is perhaps the most famous wedding dress designer from Israel.

And I think she's paved the way for a lot of these people, not to mention the fact that weddings are a critical part of being Jewish and something

that we culturally and religiously cherish.

And so you've got to look the part.
