Yale Rabbi James Ponet Helped Officiate Chelsea Clinton Wedding

The Slifka Center's own Rabbi James Ponet '68 officiated at Chelsea Clinton's uber-hyped wedding at an estate in Rhinebeck, N.Y., on Saturday, according to multiple news outlets.

The Clinton family tried to keep the details of the event secret from everyone but the hundreds of guests in attendance, who included Ponet, Yale's Jewish chaplain and director of the Joseph Slifka Center. He was joined by Rev. William Shillady in leading the interfaith ceremony between Clinton, who is Methodist, and her Jewish husband, Marc Mezvinsky.
