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.
If we dont stop this new conversion bill now, we lose recognition in Israel of Reform and Conservative conversion forever. There are millions of Jews in the Diaspora, and the current Israeli leadership needs to hear from all of you and right away if we are going to stop this.
Please sign the petition on this page. To make an even bigger impact, copy and paste the attached letter into your own email account and send it right now to the Prime Minister, and forward this urgent call to your friends and family.
