Dozens of Orthodox rabbis and educators, members of a group that encourages Jewish pluralism, on Wednesday published a letter in support of a recent High Court of Justice ruling recognizing Reform and Conservative conversions to Judaism for the purposes of citizenship.
Among those who put their names to the letter were Rabbi Yitz Greenberg, activist Rabbi Dr. Shmuly Yanklowitz, Rabba Dr. Carmella Abraham, and Rabbi Dr. Nathan Lopez Cardozo.
“We share the broad Zionist commitment to Israel as both a Jewish and a democratic state,” the letter said. “This decision strengthens the democratic character of the state by treating all Jewish denominations as equal in this particular matter.”
