High Court: State will recognize non-Rabbinate Orthodox conversions

The High Court rules that conversions to Orthodox Judaism that are not conducted within the framework of the ultra-Orthodox Chief Rabbinate will nonetheless receive official recognition by the state.

In its ruling, the court writes: “There is no law that specifically gives the state the authority to grant exclusivity to its mechanism for conversions,” Army Radio says.
