Reply To: Sephardim and Giyur

I am Zionist, but have no plans of making aliyah. I will make aliyah when Mashiach comes. In terms of my acceptance, Rabbi Angel is unquestionably Orthodox. The RCA rejects conversions done by other Modern Orthodox rabbis and also rejects those done by Chareidi rabbonim, such as the Vaad of Queens (one of their converts was recently deported from Israel). I don’t care about being accepted by the Israeli government; I care about being accepted amongst my fellow Modern Orthodox Jews.
