Reply To: Where are US Rabbanim in the Fight for Geyur Bill?

Listen the average secular-mesorati Israeli is fed up of the Rabbanut, they seem it as too machmir. Many would be Gerim are starting to go outside the country to get their gerus done, because non-Torah conversions which are done outside of Israel are now recognized by the Israeli government, thank you to the Supreme Court of Injustice. Many Israelis are also starting to hookup with nonp-Jews who descend from the Soviet Union, because under the current regulations of the Rabbanut, many of the non-Jews are unable to convert.

The New Bill would decentralize Geuir and allow any frum rav recognized by the rabbanut in Eretz Yisrael to preform the Gerus, there by allowing individuals to choose less machmir, but yet still valid conversion process.

This bill will hopefully save the Jewish People and the authority of the Rabbanut and help keep the reform and conservative at bay.

Yes it is not a litchatchila situation that we have to make kulas in regard to geuir, but at this time we really have no choice. We will have a major assimilation problem on our hands here in Israel if something is not done fast.

So yes the sky may very well begin to fall and the Jewish People will begin to melt. Lastly we cannot keep having the government fall every year or two, we need stability.
