Marriage and Conversion in the State of Israel
Two reform-minded rabbis discuss.
In Israel, the chief rabbinate is responsible for matters pertaining to marriage and conversion to Judaism. Among the problems resulting from this system is the fact that many Israeli citizens of partial Jewish ancestry, who are recognized as Jews by Israel’s law of return but not by the rabbinate, find it difficult to marry. David Stav and Seth Farber, two rabbis who have devoted much effort to addressing these issues, discuss a bill on the subject recently passed by the Knesset and possibilities for further reform. (Moderated by Shlomo Brody; video, 90 minutes.)
