Enhancement of the Conversion to Judaism
More and more people convert to Judaism while at the same time they are unwilling to connect themselves to the Jewish heritage and Jewish tradition.
Main reasons for many to convert to Judaism nowadays are to:
-acquire Israeli citizenship;
-marry a Jew or a Jewess;
-getting a kind of "status" by being a Jew in Israeli society or
-getting a kind of "status" by being a minority;
-sneak into Judaism to convert Jews to Christianity/Islam;
-gather information on how to perform (terror) attacks on Jews;
The Israeli government is reluctant in combating these dangers and not willing to undertake any steps.
The Israeli Chief rabbinate is not performing the conversion process with accuracy: The candidate is being admitted after 5 or 6 months of study without even questioning the candidate's sincerity in keeping and continuing the Jewish tradition and heritage.
Nowadays conversions in Israel are done at large:
*in city conversion programs,
*by the Army rabbinate and
*in Kibbutz programs (like Kibbutz Javne and Ein Hanaziv).
Some rabbi's performing these conversions are highly disputed by mainstream Judaism (like rabbi Avior of Merkaz Shapira / Javne). Many of these conversions are not accepted, even if the candidate was indeed serious!
This might create serious problems for the offspring of such a candidate or might require a serious candidate to convert again.
What we propose is:
1-enhancing the conversion process by making it longer and covering more subjects to be studied by the candidate;
2-testing the candidate thoroughly on his willingness to keep and perform the Jewish tradition;
3-testing the candidate's knowledge for being able to perform day to day observance;
4-testing the candidate's achievements before converting him/her;
5-supervising the candidate's observance in the first 7 years after his conversion;
6-Annul conversions (within 7 years) of candidates that willingly / Habitual fail to keep the Jewish tradition.
7-review the status of observance of all converts till today and annul those conversions of converts that do not comply with point 6.
