They were married Sept. 6 in their favorite spot in their local park near their home in Silver Spring, Md., by Rabbi Joseph Berman of The New Synagogue Project. They celebrated their marriage with a small, COVID-pivot wedding with family on Oct. 4 with a self-uniting ceremony in the vineyard where Sobel’s parents live in Historic Norcross, virtually joined by numerous friends and family across the country and around the world.

The couple wove in themes of social justice, equity, inclusion, love and compassion throughout their ceremony, and they want to remind everyone reading that what matters to you is important, and your vote counts!  Please join in celebrating the couple’s love by making a plan to vote in the upcoming election!
