Reading a French marriage document

by Ellen Weider
(Salem, Oregon, USA)

Researching my great-grandfather, Felix Lehbold, who emigrated to America in 1873. Just found his 1850 birth record from Mommenheim and his parent's 1846 marriage record. (Alsace record keeping is impressive!) Exciting. I can read French but the penmanship, oh my. I have one big question. Felix was Jewish, as were his parents Alexandre Lehbold and Barbe Braun. Would this be noted on the marriage certificate? There is a word preceding Alexandre's name that looks like jue or jeu or fue, and similar preceding Barbe's name.
Thank you for any help you can give me on this.
