31. this proposal contradicts the whistleblower law

Fake conversions are mere fraud Interesting to see how eager some politicians are to defend fraud
32. Dear David#29
A Rabbi   (06.18.08)
you are an unfortunate victim of those who defended Fake conversions and thus tried to deligitimise genuine converts insdead. I know of a few cases, and know that there are many more. Your best bet is to go to a haredi Bet din for verification. They tend to be far more user friendly, from experience.
33. Dear David part 2

Your case probably can be solved by the Hareidi batei Din, painlessly. If you need further help or advice I will get you my contact info.

35. Should we really be using Halacha as a weapon against people
RabbiCelsoCukierkorn ,   USA   (06.22.08)
Should we really be using Halacha as a weapon against people who want to convert? Shouldn't we be looking for ways in which Halacha can be used as a bridge for the acceptance of converts?

37. Its inevitable for rabiniate and state to intertwine this wa
yaniv ,   New York, NY   (07.12.09)
Israel is a Jewish state. There is no way to not have religion and state since Jewish nationality is intertwined with Jewish religion. That having been said, since the rabbinical courts are state agencies and Judaism developes and evolves because of a relationship between Hashem and Israel this bill makes perfect sense. Having more Jews in Israel only strengthens the Jewish demography, plus what is the harm in having one more secular Jew in Israel?
38. annuling conversations

The court is 100 per cenr correct in Not annulying convesations. Rabbi Druckman did a great thing we need more men Like him to stand uo and do what is right.
