1. Halachic converts are 100.000% JEWISH
Yochanan ,   Hevron, Israel   (03.18.10)
If one converted through Halacha, one is 100% Jewish and even the convert wouldn't automatically be allowed to obtain Israeli citizenship this would be biggest discrimination one have ever seen in Judaism. It would be a total DISGRACE and any Jew supporting such a law is acting against the Thora!!!
2. Not a single Rabbi in the meeting
Simon ,   Canada   (03.18.10)
Funny how this is first a halachic subject and not a single Rabbi is involved in the talks.
3. "Jewish leaders"????
GT ,   Israel   (03.18.10)
Most of these "leaders" are not religious and have intermarried children or else their son in law or daughter in law had some non-halachic conversion.
4. #3 is right
BN ,   Israel   (03.23.10)
Most of these so-called leaders are not religious and know almost nothing about Judaism. A very high percentage of them have intermarried children and also non-Jewish grandchildren. If any of their childrens' spouses convert it is a Reform conversion which is a joke. They are called "leaders" because they have money. A few years ago, I read about a Jewish "leader" in the States who sent out invitations to his son's wedding in a church. In another generation or so, these leaders' families will not be Jewish.
