Chelsea Clinton is Methodist. Her new fiancé is Jewish. From Ivanka Trump to Ed Koch, Jewish Americans talk to The Daily Beast’s Samuel P. Jacobs about the question every mother-in-law wants answered.

“The great thing about America is everyone wants to marry a Jewish boy.” —Harvard professor of Yiddish literature Ruth Wisse

All summer long, Chelsea Clinton and Marc Mezvinsky were dogged by rumors of an engagement. A Martha’s Vineyard wedding was in the works—and then it wasn’t. Over Thanksgiving, the couple at last made it official. So now that the former first daughter has finally announced her plans to marry a nice Jewish boy, round two of the nuptial guessing game begins: Will Chelsea head to the mikvah?

“As a rabbi, I would be delighted to see Chelsea convert. That would be my dream scenario,” says Rabbi David Wolpe of Sinai Temple in Los Angeles. Wolpe once worked for Mezvinsky’s father when he was the former congressman’s advance man. Young Marc, now working at a hedge fund, “was a wonderful, thoughtful, and very vibrant sort of kid,” Wolpe adds.

The author waits until the last few paragraphs to finally ask if the groom might actually consider converting. I thought that alone was curious.

Chelsea's ex-con father-in-law to be fell for every Nigerian email scam that arrived in his inbox. In order to cash in, he needed to raise millions to send to Nigeria. He got the millions by defrauding his friends and family.

As Rush says, liberalism really is a mental disorder.

In one of his routines, when Jackie Mason agonized over how to describe the attributes of a Jewish husband, he finally likened him to a Japanese wife.

A pro-abortion Methodist marries a pro-abortion Jew. The last thing that matters is which religion either one of them might pretend to believe in.

with her womanizing Dad, they should be happy she is not a lesbian.

[Arthur McGowan]

Chelsea’s father escaped prison only because he was President. She’s marrying up.

"with her womanizing Dad, they should be happy she is not a lesbian."

Well, if she has a last-minute change of heart, her mother can certainly lend her the wardrobe.

She might as well be a self-proclaimed Atheist. Just like the God-deniers, the Liberals that have infected the Methodist denomination don’t believe the Bible is the word of God nor Christ is the son of God. What a joke.
