MK Ruhama Avraham criticized the conversion process system in Israel
By JERUSALEM POST STAFF
MK Ruhama Avraham criticized the handling of the conversion process in Israel and claimed that it creates difficulties for would-be converts. Speaking at the Knesset plenum, the MK stated that over 300,000 non-Jewish immigrants currently live in Israel, and every year, 3000 children who are not recognized as Jewish, are added to that figure.
An inter-ministerial commission proposed to establish a Governmental Conversion Authority. A Rabbinical Judges (dayanim team headed by Chief Rabbi Shlomo Amar would be responsible for solving halachic difficulties that stand in the way of those wishing to convert.
