JTA A leader of the extremist anti-Zionist ultra-Orthodox sect Neturei Karta, who once met with then Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has died. Rabbi Moshe Dov Ber Beck was 87.
Beck, a central leader of the Neturei Karta for decades, died Thursday night of complications from COVID-19 following a long illness, according to the Israeli news site Behadrei Haredim.
His anti-Zionist group was established in 1938 and opposes the modern state of Israel based on the belief that only God, at the time of the coming of the Messiah, can return the Jewish people to the Land of Israel and reinstate Jewish sovereignty. The group has met with Holocaust deniers and leaders of the Iranian government, which has threatened Israel with extermination, even earning the condemnation of the leader of the Satmar Hasidic sect, also an anti-Zionist Orthodox group but less extreme.

Israelâs High Court ruling on Reform Conversion, which caused a stir last week, was practically written and signed five years ago, at the end of March 2016. The 2016 ruling, written by the Chief Justice Miriam Naor, who retired long ago, was about Martina Ragacova, a Czech citizen who came to Israel as a tourist and stayed when her visa expired. While staying illegally, she converted to Judaism. Not through Reform authorities, but instead through Rabbi Karelitzâs Haredi Orthodox Court in Bnei Brak.
DEBKAfile
On the face of it, 9 High Court judges started a fire in the right wing, Orthodox and Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) camps with a ruling on Monday, March 1, that digs deep into the fundamentals of Jewish identity, statehood and its bonds with the Diaspora, by attempting the impossible: recognition of the civilian status of non-Orthodox Reformed and Conservative converts to Judaism under the Law of Return, without interfering in Israel’s religious personal status laws in marriage and divorce (an authority that also applies to non-Jewish minorities).
However, the two halves of the Jewish identity proved once more to be inseparable; Chief Justice Esther Hayut was crying in the wilderness when she declared: “This is a civil matter, not a religious one.”
