Chelsea Clinton…Jewish?

The 30-year-old daughter of Bill and Hillary Clinton is engaged to a Jewish man named Marc Mezvinsky. That’s not the interesting part. Her mother is a churchgoing Methodist and her father is a southern Baptist…but the young couple has been telling friends they are considering a summer wedding and a possible Rabbi.
The Jewish community is rejoicing:
“If they had a Jewish wedding officiated by a rabbi, I think that would be something really positive,” said Ed Case, president ofInterfaithFamily.com, which supports Jewish outreach to interfaith couples. “It’s so important for the Jewish community to have interfaith couples engaging in Jewish life.”
Mezvinsky is a son of former Pennsylvania Rep. Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinsky and former Iowa Rep. Ed Mezvinsky, longtime friends of the Clintons. His parents, who are divorced, had attended a Conservative Jewish synagogue in Pennsylvania.
So screw religion…this could be the perfect political wedding!
