WELL DONE! There is some movement towards turning the conversion process into a civil procedure, alternatively to a religious one, like becoming an american citizen (possibly, but not necessarily, connected to any religion). This is outrageous. Judaism is an ethnicity NECESSARILY connected to religion, and to disociate one from the other is a freakness and a national suicide.

How can you judge the sincerity of a Jew's heart? How can you know that the person converting might not have a descendant who will be a Torah scholar or the Messiah? How many "halachic" Jews today observe the Torah and mitzvot? Isn't it time we just accepted the conversions without prejudice?

to believe.

Here we go again, linguistic contortions. Now its a question of intention, surely going through the conversion process is the clearest evidence of intention to uphold the Torah? All these useless Rabbis, get out of peoples lives - you are no better than the Mullahs of Iran.

In Israel, Israelis have the same rights than Jews.So why the desire to become Jewish? To the candidates for conversion, having contributed to Israel,who are not willing to keep the Tora laws ,it makes more sense to give them Israeli citizenship.

Intentions are shown in everything one does throughout his/her life to live a progressively righteous Jewish life. Filling out an application for conversion is not end of showing this intention.

If you think about what you're saying logically, insincere geirim will never have anything good from them, let alone them being Shomer Torah. That being the case, no Talmid Chacham will decend from them. Halachicaly, Mashiach can never decend from them. In Torah, actions and Mitzvot speak louder than words or intentions. During the geirut process, if they lied about keeping the entirety of Miztvot, then they are not Yehudim. There can be no compromise!

Are you kidding me? But conversion is a contract at a point of time just like it was with Israel at Har Sinai. You haven't studied Torah much have you?

No one lies no one compromises

In any case,a better solution than fake converts.

We need Aryeh Deri! As the son of TEPPAC public affairs director, I call on the anglo community to support Deri in re-entrance to the government. Only Deri brought results, enough to scare off the ruling cliq of WISPs so far as to resort to shove him away. WE need leaders like DERI to bring back power to the people and our interests!
