CHELSEA CLINTON PLANNING A BIG FAT JEWISH WEDDING?
Posted by Adam
CHELSEA Clinton is reportedly planning a Jewish wedding.
Chelsea — the daughter of former President Bill and Secretary of State Hilary Clinton — and her Jewish fiance, Marc Mezvinsky, 32, announced their engagement in November and told friends they were looking to a possible summer ceremony.
Bill is a Southern Baptist; Hilary is a churchgoing Methodist. Chelsea grew up attending Methodist church with her mother.
The bride and groom have a range of choices, including conversion or a melding their two traditions into one ceremony.
“If they had a Jewish wedding officiated by a rabbi, I think that would be something really positive,” said Ed Case, president of InterfaithFamily.com, which supports Jewish outreach to interfaith couples. “It’s so important for the Jewish community to have interfaith couples engaging in Jewish life.”
Rabbi Steven Carr Reuben of Kehillath Israel, a Reconstructionist congregation in Pacific Palasades, Calif., said even if Chelsea doesn’t have a Jewish wedding or convert, she should still be considered part of the community.
“There are Jews by birth and Jews by choice and Jews by association,” said Reuben, who has officiated at interfaith weddings for years and presided at the 2003 vow renewal of Ozzy Osbourne and his wife, Sharon, whose father is Jewish. “She’s marrying into the Jewish family.”
Hilary recently revealed that her daughter is still searching for a wedding dress.
“I don’t have a dress yet, and Chelsea doesn’t either,” she said last month. “We’re working on it.”
