There was some doubt as to the Jewish lineage of the "Bnei Menashe" so they were requested by the Chief Rabbis to undergo a formal conversion "in case of doubt."

They have agreed to this condition and have been converted through Orthodox rabbinical courts.

However the anti-religious Shinui party which controls the immigration ministry has refused to accept Orthodox converts as a way of coercing the Chief Rabbis to recognize Reform and Conservative converts, who do not meet all the religious requirements of a conversion, but who are more likely to vote for Shinui.

FRmail me to be added or removed from this Judaic/pro-Israel ping list.

WARNING: This is a high volume ping list
