Gut Shabbes or, Close But Not Quite



Reports JTA:-


Rabbi James Ponet, head of the Joseph Slifka Center for Jewish Life at Yale, was joined by Rev. William Shillady, a Methodist minister. Clinton and the groom, Marc Mezvinsky, reportedly were married under a chuppah, in a ceremony that featured friends and family reciting the seven traditional blessings and a ketubah, the traditional Jewish wedding contract. The event took place Saturday night before the end of the Jewish sabbath.

Mezvinsky, who is Jewish, wore a yarmulke and prayer shawl.

Ponet, a Reform rabbi, has been the Jewish chaplain at Yale since 1981



For my readers unfamilair with Jewish law, no weddings take place on the Shabbat.


Like her father's and mother's politics, a bit of a fraud.

Not really - Jewish weddings usually include Jews (2 of 'em).
