Tel Aviv (JTA) - Interior
Minister Arye Deri said last
week in a statement to the
High Court of Justice the of-
fice's aversion to registering
non-Orthodox converts as
Jews would be extended to
the issuance of immigrant
visas to such converts.
Some observers see that as
tantamount to implementing
the "Who Is a Jew?" amend-
ment to the Law of Return,
long demanded by the ultra-
Orthodox, but consistently re-
jected by the Knesset.
But Benny Ya'ari, the In-
terior Ministry's deputy legal
adviser, denied that Deri's
statement represented a new
policy. Ya'ari said it meant on-
ly that ministry officials are
now referring converts to rab-
binical courts as a matter of
"friendly advice."
"Our officials are not

knowledgeable about Jewish
communities around the
world, so as a matter of
friendly advice we refer con-
verts to those who know
about Jewish communities
around the world - the local
rabbinical courts," Ya'ari said.
He admitted it is virtually
unthinkable that a rabbinical
court would validate a non-
Orthodox conversion certi-
ficate.
He denied that Deri started
a new policy.
The legal adviser pointed
out that the former interior
minister, Rabbi Yitzhak
Peretz, also of the Shas party,
had told the Knesset and the
High Court that non-
Orthodox converts were
allowed to enter Israel under
the Law of Return, even
though he was unwilling to
register them as Jews.
