Rabbinical Court
Conversion Plan
Proposal Opposed

NEW YORK (JTA) — The
Committee for Jewish Sur-
vival (CJS), an Orthodox ad
hoc committee, has charged
that the Knesset is consider-
ing a proposal to create a
special Rabbinical Court to
consider conversions in Is-
rael whose only purpose is
to make conversions easier.
"In accepting converts,
there is only one unalterable
procedure, conversion ac-
cording to all the require-
ments of the Halakha," Mi-
chael Davidson, a spokes-
man for CJS, declared.
Davidson noted that the
bill was introduced by , a
Labor Alignment Knesset
member and has been sent
to a Knesset committee
with the agreement of the
Minister of Religious Af-
fairs, Yitzhak Rafael. A
Rabbinical Court can only
be set up by rabbis and not
by the Knesset, Davidson
said.
The CJS seeks to have Is-
rael's Law of Return
amended so that only those
converted according to Ha-
lakha can be considered
Jewish.
