Quote of the Day
We respect the citizens of the State, citizenship is important and the State can decide who is deserving of that. But "Jewish" is something else. There could be a citizen that is not a Jew. We do not get involved in laws, but the moment when the laws are coming to establish halacha, it is incumbent upon the Rabbanut to say it stops here.
-- Chief Rabbi Rav Dovid Lau
the laws cannot determine halacha? Such as the law that only the Rabbanut can say something is kosher? Such as the law that only the Rabbanut can perform a kosher conversion? etc

There is a vast difference between State saying that the Rabbanut can determine the criteria for what is kosher and who can convert as opposed to the State deciding that a wider group, not acceptable to the Rabbanut, can say what the criteria are.
ReplyDeleteThere is no contradiction between the Rabbanut accepting the former and rejecting the latter.
