Rabbi Ovadia Yosef backed Chief Sephardic Rabbi Shlomo Amar, in charge of conversions in Israel, in Rabbi Amar’s not madly stringent approach to conversion. In contrast, ultra-Orthodox Ashkenazi community’s rabbis demand evermore stringent conversions, beyond absurdity. Ashkenazi rabbinical court recently nixed hundreds of past conversions by Israel’s Conversion Authority, and Shas MKs moved Olmert to essentially fire the Conversion Authority’s head Rabbi Druckman.






Converts Sephardic representatives are so keen on shouldn’t be the reason for so much fuss. If a person decides they’re ready for conversion, it should be only supported! But Converts Sephardic representatives are talking about meet only barriers.
Yemeni Jews Satmar took to the USA won’t have to suffer all these procedures and should pray for Satmar. Because local Rabbis might have said something likethey’re not real Jews.
Considering the thoughts of Ovadia Yosef on conversions, this Rabbi seems to be more progressive than many others which is very good for the Jewish state. Torah and its laws are all very well but time goes on and everything changes.The thoughts of Ovadia Yosef on conversions reflect a more democratic approach which is certainly a wise decision.
“Gaza Strip” may have a nice opportunity to laugh at Jews with their conversion.
