For many who work with interfaith couples and families, the big questions being asked about Chelsea Clinton and Marc Mezvinsky's wedding are, who will perform the wedding ceremony? Will it be a religious ceremony? Will one or both religions be included in the service?
(Excerpt) Read more at newsweek.washingtonpost.com ...
I would not be surprised if they have Jesse Jackson and the Rev Wright perform the ceremony.
Won't be surprised if Chelsea converts so that her children would be Jewish, to appease her mother-in-law. I have NO respect for women who do this btw. Why not simply tell your mother in law to (expletive) off?
I am quite sure these two are of the same religion.
Being yuppie post-moderns, I highly doubt Clinton and her new Husband have any faith at all. Being secularists is both their religion, so in fact, they will have no difficulty at all in that department.
I once worked with a young, nominally Protestant girl who got engaged to a Jewish fellow from a relatively well-to-do family. She agreed to convert, and when her cohorts asked if she would do it before or after the marriage she indignantly replied, “After the marriage, of course. Otherwise, if Mike and I break up, I’ll be a Jew for nothing.”
This could prove to be VERY interesting. The Mother of the bride is also the Sec’y of State. Her ‘BOSS’ has not been too warm towards Israel, to say the least.
Now, her only child is about to marry a man of Jewish Faith and Heritage.
How will her “BOSS” handle this?
How will SHE handle instructions/orders from ‘above’ to do or say anything that could prove to be detremental to Israel?
Will “O” be invited to the wedding?
The Groom’s father, Ed Mezvinsky pleaded guilty in 2002 to swindling dozens of investors out of $10 million and served five years in prison. He was released in April 2008, but remains on federal probation and still owes almost $9.4 million in restitution to his victims.
Marc is of the Conservative Jewish Faith. Rabbis are forbidden to officiate (or even attend) a wedding where one is not of the Jewish Faith.
Yes............this could become very, VERY interesting.
Hillary loved Arafat and his wife. Her feelings towards the Jews are known. Now she will have a Jewish son-in-law - I love it!
Sounds like a marriage made in heaven.
They have the same religion ... they both worship money and power. Therefore there is no conflict. Hillary might ask for a token donation to Molech, however.
Seems like American Jews have never really cared enough about Israel for it to affect their votes. I’m not sure if “Conservative” means Orthodox. The Orthodox Jews may vote differently from other Jews as a voting bloc.
I’ve always wondered how Bill reconciles Obama’s betrayal of Israel with his own Baptist belief (IIRC) that anybody who betrays Israel is doomed. Bill didn’t get many things right, but that was one thing he had a heckuva lot better than Obama. Big difference between being even a nominal Baptist and being a hidden Muslim.
Since you, LTOS have a Garden of Prayer for Jerusalem thread, on FreeRepublic, every day, I thought you might find some interest in this thread.
If you have two religions, you have no religions.
“I’m not sure if “Conservative” means Orthodox.”
It doesn’t. Some minority of “conservative” jews (NO relation to conservative politics, simply the in between from Reform to Orthodox) nominally keep kosher and the sabbath, and they screech that they support Israel (and America) but they almost unanimously vote ‘Rat against both America and Israel.
“The Orthodox Jews may vote differently from other Jews as a voting bloc.”
Mostly...
Re the clintons and Israel, they aren’t much better than Øbowmao.
WJ Clinton arm-twisted former PM Ehud Barak into giving away almost 97% of the land (he did’t have to twist that hard as Ehud was “Labor” = terminally stupid, near-communist scum) but aracrap backed away.
The big difference is that Øbowmao sells out the America and Israel as part of his “creed”.
The Clintons do it out of GREED.
If she has a shred of an authentic Christian faith at all, it would be a miracle of significant magnitude.
To me, I don’t see any ‘happiness’ between the two of them. (He has an ‘empty’ look to me.) Probably just a silly observation with no merit!
She has had so much plastic surgery (I have read), that she no longer looks like the Chelsea we used to see, growing up in the White House.
What a sad waste of humanity.
I think your observations are quite apt. BTW.
LUB
Yes, but the phrase has been removed from much of the net.
I just found this one from http://www.rense.com/general2/hillh.htm:
“Biographer Jerry Oppenheimer’s new book STATE OF A UNION: INSIDE THE COMPLEX MARRIAGE OF BILL AND HILLARY CLINTON will not be released by HARPERCOLLINS until Tuesday, but the DRUDGE REPORT can reveal:
In one particularly shocking passage in the book, Oppenheimer quotes a campaign official who describes an angry attack by Hillary in which she screams at him, “You f***ing Jew b*stard!”
Two sourced eyewitnesses confirmed to Oppenheimer that they heard the verbal assault.
This morning, on CNN there was a segment about Chelsea and Marc - and in every single picture of them, the top of Marc’s head was cut out of the picture. The religious differences were not mentioned. (But, I was SURE I saw him wearing a yarmulke a couple weeks ago.)
He’s either been lobotomized,
never had an authentic Jewish faith to begin with . . .
or is under Vulcan mind control by the Reptilians.
LOL.
This is weird.
Some more-or-less Jewish believing men fall for Gentile ladies. It was enough of an issue to come up in the bible several times. I can thank such an odd matchup for my own existence.
Sounds logical to me. Any proper religion, looking to improve its gene pool, would welcome her with open arms!
Welllllllllll we’re glad you’re around.
Blessings,
Here's one of my versions for your emoticon . . . yours is more subtle and cuter . . . still . . . for impact . . . :
Will Marc Mezvinsky ever hear Hillary call him a “f**king Jew b**tard” if he does anything wrong? And is her mother the rabid Jew-hater still alive? This is not just an “interfaith marriage’, this is his marrying into a family of anti-Semites.
Next week, Mr. LTOS, a Raised a Conservative Jew, and I will be celebrating our 38th Wedding Anniversary.
We were married by a JP when we we barely 19 years old, and there were twelve people at the wedding.
We had no money, and lived in a 3rd floor walk-up in a tough section of Boston.
We could not afford a car, so we got our first motorcycle to get around town, and have been bikers ever since.
My five younger siblings all had huge church weddings and have all been divorced multiple times.
Mr. LTOS had a Huge Wedding in a Temple with a 16 piece band and over 300 people. It was over 9 hours long. The marriage lasted less than 9 years.
So I don’t judge. I just wish them well, whoever they are.
Oops..I meant to say..Mr. LTOS’s BROTHER had a wedding in a Temple with a big band etc etc.! I am sorry if, in my first post, that particular line didn’t make sense! LOL!
Congrats! Two of my daughters married Jewish men and they are princes in our opinion. Happy marriages, devoted to our daughters, wonderful fathers. As a side, they are so respectful to us as the inlays. Both of them have no parents left and they treat is like venerated parents...I could not have picked better men. And our southern blood needed an infusion of something new. I love those guys like the sons I never had.
I dated many Jewish guys during my singlehood. Great guys, treated me really well!
“f you have two religions, you have no religions.”
But you still have my tag line.
May You Be Blessed CajunGirl...Sounds like You ARE! LOL!
Mr. LTOS Loves my Parents too. Treats them Wonderfully.
Of COURSE, they are a lot NICER than the Klintoons!
hehehe.
I would venture to say that may be because the Ancient Jewish Faith had a lot more respect for Women than other Contemporary Cultures of the Middle east, or ones that rose up AFTERWARD, if you catch my drift. -0;-{>
He has money! Hillary loves money! Therefore, He & Hillary are of the same religion.
AND it takes a LOT of money to get someone to marry ole' horse face!
I would think the clinton’s are better off financially than him/his parents.
As I recall, that was her pet name for Dick Morris.
And then the worm (Morris) turned! I have to say I do enjoy Morris when he comments on the O’Reilly or Hannity Shows.
You might want to tell that to Ivanka Trump who converted to Judaism before her marriage last year.
People’s religion is their own business ot’s that “Freedom of Religion” thing.
