A Call to Action - Protecting All Jews' Rights in Israel
Join CBST and our friends at the RAC and IRAC in keeping Israel a home for ALL Jews.
In spite of the overwhelming opposition by a powerful majority of Jews worldwide, the new conversion bill - that moves full control over who is a Jew in Israel from the State to the Orthodox Rabbinate - advanced through committee to a vote
in the Knesset.
With the passage of this bill, the 18th Knesset threatens to change the definition of "who is a Jew" in Israel forever. From now on, the power to perform conversions would rest solely with the Chief Rabbinate - which only recognizes Ultra-Orthodox conversions.
Join CBST and our friends at the RAC
and IRAC
in keeping Israel a home for ALL Jews by telling Israel the Conversion Bill is unacceptable
