Jewish Home MK: I won’t recognize ‘bogus’ Reform Judaism

Jewish Home MK Bezalel Smotrich says he will not accept any aspect of Reform Judaism, which he brands a “bogus religion.”

“I am not willing to recognize Reform conversions,” Army Radio quotes the hardline lawmaker as telling a Jewish Home youth conference, “and I am not willing to recognize anything about their bogus religion.”
