The Supreme Court last week ended Israel’s long-standing policy of only permitting non-Jewish children up for adoption in Israel to undergo Orthodox giyur which is recognized by Israel’s Chief Rabbanut.
The ruling came after a 20-year legal battle, with the original petition filed in 2003 by the Israel Movement for Reform and Progressive Judaism.
Proceedings on the case were renewed following the Supreme Court’s ruling in 2021 that people converted by the Reform and Conservative movements in Israel will be recognized as Jewish and can become Israeli citizens through the Law of Return.
The State had argued that non-Orthodox giyur would be detrimental to the children as it would make it difficult for them to get married since non-Orthodox giyur is not recognized by the Rabbanut.
However, the court rejected the argument and ruled to end the policy of allowing only Orthodox giyur for children up for adoption.

Orthodox, Reform, Conservative etc.. all guilty for promoting harmful injections! New leadership, a real one, is needed.
Exponentially more urgent to decimate & obliterate this evil wicked Supreme Court
So is judicial reform necessary or not? They’re impossible! They need their wings clipped, BIG TIME.
You can put lipstick on a pig, but nobody is fooled, in the end it is still just a pig and will be non-kosher …
147 what court? Is there any court anywhere?
This is outrageous! How can a leftist secular court declare people Jewish who aren’t according to Jewish law!
It can’t get more cynical than that: The “rabbi” of France said in an interview that his “brother”, the Imam of France and himself with other religious “leaders” all agreed that getting those injections were a “religious duty”, of course the Pope was the first one backing all of these statements.
Outraged, one journalist, Eric Zemmour, started making some public statements echoing some sort of determined fascist… Then comes the rabbi of France: “Eric Zemmour? What he’s saying is not acceptable, is he even Jewish?…. He goes further and say I usually don’t ask politicians religions,I will only ask if a rabbi is Jewish..
Now from a different angle, one can look at the rabbi of France and ask him if he can denies one’s identity because of his public statements and political positions. But one can also ask another question: who is questionnable here? The “certified rabbi” who says it’s a duty to be injected with that thing without doing a diligent investigation about it or the one who is acting like a fascist, perhaps indirectly asking them what fascism is all about?
Let’s hope they will find enough humility to realize their mistakes and issue sincere apologies as well.

This is one of many examples why the demonstrations is Israel are so vital.
We voted for judicial reform, precisely to prevent this kind of madness from occurring,
ie, High Court deliberate dissolution of genuine Jewish values.
Menachem: some people just can’t face the truth. Those in power are clueless.

@Curiosity Is Not Intrinsically Good.
The human drive to resolve uncertainty is so strong that people will look for answers even when it’s obvious those answers will be painful.
Because humans have this inherent need to resolve uncertainty, people will seek to slake their curiosity even when it is clear the answer will hurt and it does hurt.
In a series of four experiments, behavioral scientists at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business and the Wisconsin School of Business tested students’ willingness to expose themselves to aversive stimuli in an effort to satisfy curiosity.
For one trial, each participant was shown a pile of pens that the researcher claimed were from a previous experiment. The twist? Half of the pens would deliver an electric shock when clicked.
Twenty-seven students were told which pens were rigged; another 27 were told only that some were electrified. When left alone in the room, the students who did not know which ones would shock them clicked more pens and incurred more jolts than the students who knew what would happen. Subsequent experiments replicated this effect with other stimuli, such as the sound of fingernails on a chalkboard and photographs of repulsive insects.
The drive to discover is deeply ingrained in humans, on par with the basic drives for food or sex, says Christopher Hsee of the University of Chicago, a co-author of the paper. Curiosity is often considered a good instinct—it can lead to new scientific advances, for instance—but sometimes such inquiry can backfire. “The insight that curiosity can drive you to do self-destructive things is a profound one”

Al daas is on point
@al daas hamakom,
unfortunately your too right. but as it says in the Gemara, that there is no possibility to destroy the avoda zara of a Jew, only if he himself destroys it.
Until these reshaim and their suck-up-to-thems wake up and realise…..
what can I say… we need moshiach already!
Curiosity said antivax hysterical ‘supplant’ daas even if hamakom, derech eretz too. I strongly disagree, widsom, work, those are important.
The only avoda zara was the dollard and right now it’s on advanced/ intense self -destruction mode.
If the adoptive parents are converting the children non-Orthodox or are adopting children who were not converted properly and are not fixing the situation then they aren’t living a halachic lifestyle and the kids are probably better off not being halachically Jewish.
hysterically loony zetruth (nothing but it),
you might forget that isra-hell is fully parasitically dependent on the the crashing dollard
