Chelsea Clinton, daughter of President Bill Clinton and Hillary Rodham Clinton will not be having a traditional Christian wedding but are planning a Jewish wedding since her future husband, Marc Mexvinsky is Jewish.

The bride and groom announced their wedding in November and are just now talking openly about the groom’s Jewish religion. Much of the talk that is circulating is coming from Jewish Community Centers who are looking eagerly to having a member of President Bill Clinton’s family join their Community. The talk might have started since gossip is that Chelea has been looking for a Jewish rabbi to perform the ceremony.
President Bill Clinton and his daughter have not been attending their Southern Baptist Church since the President’s minister offended the President by criticizing him on his gay and pro abortion policies while in office. The problem of a mixed marriage as in the case of Chelsea Clinton and Marc Mexvinsky is being pondered upon by people like Rabbi Steven Car Reuben, leader of a Reconstructionist Jewish sect known as Kehillath Israel whose temple is in Pacific Palasades, California.

He is telling his congregation that Chelea Clinton should be considered a part of the Jewish Community even if she is not married by a rabbi and does not convert to Judaism. Another prominent member of the religious Jewish Community, Ed Case, of InterFaithFamily.com stresses that it is important for Jews to allow interfaith couples to join Jewish associations.

Another interested member of the religious communities involved, Rev. Taylor Burton-Edwards of the Methodist General Board of Discipleship of The United Methodist Church to which Hillary Clinton, mother of the bride belongs comments that his Church allows local pastors and their congregations to judge on whether to allow a mixed wedding in a Methodist Church if one of the couple is not converted to Methodism.
