They mentioned a call to hutz la-aretz, but don't say to whom. An earlier report of this story (plausibly) alleged that the Rabbanut wasn't very vigorous in clarifying to the end if the mother's conversion might have been acceptable, at least post facto. Such a thing takes time and effort, and it doesn't look like that was invested.<br /><br />Also, there is a curious phrase in the Srugim article. It says the beit din that converted mom wasn't "authorized" to do so. Back in the sixties, in the US (where earlier reports say the story originates) there was no such thing as an "authorized" beit din. "Authorized" by whom? Halchically, the only question would be if the beit din and its proceeding were kosher, at least post facto.<br /><br />I'm a bit suspicious of how this went down, unless and until more clear information becomes available. The Rabbanut and non-Rabbanut rabbanim and batei din already have proven themselves to be both strict, and unthorough, in these matters in the past.<br /><br />Baruch Hashem, at least is sounds like the family is happy with the resolution of the matter. Now I wait to hear how some of the children will have problems with shidduchim because of this...Mordechai Y. Scherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06774262478551329181noreply@blogger.com
