besides for going against the original agreement between the Rabbanut and the RCA in which the RCA converts would be accepted by the Rabbanut, any organization that would not accept as valid the word and decision of Rav Gedaliah Dov Schwartz and Rabbi Willig, two of the greatest and most well-respected American rabbonnim of the generation, is not worthy of being in this business.

This conversion was not under the GPS system agreed to by the RCA and the rabbanut. Most RCA rabbonim conversions, even RCA dayanim on this GPS system are done freelance, outside the system, different standards, etc.
ReplyDeleteAnd the RCA is flaunting their non conformance, due to internal political reasons.
So what do you want the rabbanut to do?
I dont want to argue details because I am not so familiar, but whatever happened precisely, if converts under rabbis willig or schwartz are not accepted by the rabbanut there is something wrong.
ReplyDeletePerhaps the rabanut is saying, hey, we are struggling to keep our monopoly on conversion , not unlike that only the Ministry of Health can approve several things in the health sector, so why would it want to encourage ex-RCA conversions.
