Doron Almog says he hopes to connect Jews' hearts, find compromise for conversions and act as the voice of world Jewry, even if it means speaking out to Israel's own government

(JNS) The leaders of seven major Jewish and Zionist organizations warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that proposed changes to Israeli law could affect the unity of world Jewry. “Any change in the delicate and sensitive status quo on issues such as the Law of Return or conversion could threaten to unravel the ties between us and keep us away from each other,” the leaders stated in a letter addressed to the prime minister.
