Neither were they mentioned in the brief Clinton statement after the wedding.<br /><br />Ed Mr. Mezvinsky recently completed a nearly five-year sentence for fraud, but is a long-time friend of the Clintons.<br /><br />(And what's with those "Mr"'s?)<br /><br />http://www.nationalpost.com/overwhelming+emotion+Chelsea+Clinton+weds+York/3347138/story.html<br /><br />And a letter to the editor:<br /><br />Who’s your rabbi?<br /><br />For your readers’ clarification, the rabbi (Rabbi James Ponet) who performed the Clinton Mezvinsky wedding was not an authentic Jewish Rabbi. The reason is that authentic Rabbis cannot and do not perform weddings when both or either party are not Jewish.<br />Nor do Rabbis perform weddings on the Sabbath (Saturday)<br />In the absence of such credentials, the skullcap, prayershawl and canopy are only props without any religious signifance. Alas, counterfeit goods are so common these days.

This intolerant, snarky attitude will starve you of any hope in the future. It is even more insidious than that - it is this belief that not adhering to your asburdly strict set of laws are somehow less than you are. This exclusivism is repulsive. Furthermore, it is mired in faulty logic and rejected by those with the most basic of critical thinking skills to see it.<br /><br />Look to your shul congregations on every day except the high holidays - bereft of youth, awash in the dull glow of the nearly departed.<br /><br />And it is all your fault. It is pieces like this that make most would-be congregants turn from your way of life as if it were one of the 10 plagues of the Exocus.<br /><br />Who wants to be so bitter? Who wants to gaze upon the beautiful union of two people and write about why their love is a desecration?<br /><br />Nobody who is good and happy with their lives would do that. Only those who have gaping voids in their souls would put pen to such tripe. Only those who have an inextinguishable bitterness, a bright emerald envy for all that is transpiring around them, would do this.<br /><br />You are sad people, and I pity you.Daniel Levyhttp://www.vcenotes.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1843426103950643279.post-1481035093051909212010-08-03T08:20:31.571+10:002010-08-03T08:20:31.571+10:00To add to Chaya's post above:

Reform believe in patrilineal descent. If the father is Jewish, they consider the child Jewish. Of course calling a non-Jew a Jew no more makes him a Jew than calling a pig a cow makes it kosher.
