Sarah Ruth Perlmeter and Jonah Harry Freelander were married Sept. 22 at the Tanglewood Music Center in Lenox, Mass. Rabbi Rex D. Perlmeter, the father of the bride, officiated and led the offering of the seven blessings, with the other parents, all rabbis also, taking part in the ceremony.
Rabbi Rachel C. Hertzman, the bride’s mother, led the priestly benediction and oversaw the breaking of the glass. Rabbi Elyse D. Frishman, the groom’s mother, welcomed the couple under the huppah and offered opening blessings. Rabbi Daniel H. Freelander, the groom’s father, led the couple through their exchange of both rings and vows.
Ms. Perlmeter, 27, is a fellowship coach and social worker at Drive Change, an organization in Brooklyn that helps young men and women emerging from an encounter with the criminal justice system in New York City acquire life and food-service skills. She graduated from the University of Rochester and received a master’s degree in social work from Columbia.
Her parents live in Montclair, N.J. The bride’s father is a mindfulness, meditation and spiritual direction consultant. Her mother is a volunteer wise-aging instructor at Temple Ner Tamid in Bloomfield, N.J.
Mr. Freelander, 33, is the director for strategic partnerships and development, in Manhattan, at the Union for Reform Judaism’s Mitzvah Corps, a community service learning program for Jewish teenagers. He graduated from Trinity College in Hartford.
His parents live in Manhattan. The groom’s mother, who is retired, is the rabbi emeriti of Barnert Temple in Franklin Lakes, N.J., and was the editor of the Mishkan T’filah prayer book, a publication of the Central Conference of American Rabbis. His father is the president of the World Union for Progressive Judaism, and works in its offices in Manhattan and in Jerusalem.
The couple, whose parents have know each other for decades, met as children through an annual winter skiing retreat of the Organization for Networking, Education and Growth, which primarily attracts rabbis and their families from the Reform movement. Ms. Perlmeter said that her interest sparked in Mr. Freelander near the end of her college career, when he talked to her about interviewing for jobs at one of the ski-retreat events, and then was rekindled in 2014, when the two traveled with their families, and two other families as well, to Antarctica.
