(Photo: Ha’a retz Archive) The Reform and Conservative movements won another round in the conversion battle when the High Court of Justice ruled on Monday February 25, that those undergoing non-Orthodox conversions in Israel must be registered as Jewish on their Israeli identity cards. The landmark decision was passed by 9 votes to 2. The Orthodox were outraged, with their spokesmen saying the decision would divide the Jewish people by creating a situation in which certain Israelis would be recognized as Jewish by the state, but not by many of their fellow Israelis, especially for the purposes of marriage. The ultra-Orthodox Shas party immediately submitted a bill that would effectively circumvent the court’s decision by requiring all Israeli conversions to be approved by the Chief Rabbinate.
