Doesn't sound like it was a kosher conversion in the first place. Ms. Shapiro was outrageously naive. and Reyes was deceptive.
We live in an era that has no idea what commitment--to G-d, to ideals, let alone to another person--means.
This is what happens when everything is reversible and nothing need be taken seriously. I pity baby Ela, but as to her parents, a plague on both their houses. What did they expect?
I heard about this on the radio on the way home from work. I'm curious if the coverage of this story prompts more unaffiliated Jews to connect this Pesach.

Maybe it's good that this story is getting so much publicity. Hopefully every Jew who is on the path to marrying a non-Jew sees it.
