thank you for all the responses. a lot to think about and digest. Regarding some of the questions posed. My father is jewish (jewish mother grandmother etc.) and an israeli citizen who immigrated to the U.S. My mother is not jewish. (they married in cyprus i think not israel).
How does one go about finding a ‘widely accepted’ beis din here in the U.S? For my future life plans it is very important to me that the Israeli rabbinate see my conversion as valid and hopefully also the wider orthodox community.
