Do you support or oppose the decision of the Supreme
Court allowing "jump conversions" according to which conversions
overseas are recognized in Israel? [IMRA: Until now, those who resided
overseas and went through the entire conversion process overseas in
a Reform or Conservative conversion were recognized as Jews by the State
of Israel and could immigrate to Israel under to Law of Return. The
court now ruled that people residing already in Israel who undergo all
but the final stage of conversion inside Israel and then go overseas
for the conversion ceremony also would be recognized as Jews by the
State. There was considerable confusion over the significance of this
ruling as some Orthodox critics of the decision gave the impression
that until now Reform and Conservative conversions were not recognized
in Israel]. (Israel Radio's "Another Matter" program, April
