Quote of the Day

No rav will listen to the Supreme Court. The halacha does not recognize it, and the Supreme Court can't change the halacha

Rav Ariel is right. But if the Supreme Court decision stands as is, it will simply become a decentralized system more like it is in other countries - the Reform will do their conversions and the Orthodox will not recognize such converts as Jewish, and the State will. That is the way it works everywhere else, and, again - if the decision stands, is how it will end up working here. The Supreme Court decision will not cause the Orthodox to recognize Reform converts as Jewish
