Out of Step Jew: The Israeli Supreme Court (supreme legislature?) is to rule tomorrow (Thursday) on recognizing non-orthodox conversions. As one who is uncomfortable with the Orthodox religious monopoly in Israel I should be rooting for a victory for the Reform and Conservative, but I am not. This is not only about "unity" this is about the best interests of the converts. The Chief Rabbinate's approach to conversions and to converts is, well, sinful. There are some people who are dealing with it though, like R. Haim Druckman and the IDF's chief chaplain, R. Weiss.
