Today’s letters: Abortion, God and Chelsea Clinton’s ‘Jewish’ rabbi
August 2, 2010 – 9:39 am
Who’s your rabbi?
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.Nor do Rabbis perform weddings on the Sabbath (Saturday)
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. I hope the Clintons didn’t pay full price.
