The Israeli government has decided to put off, by six months, an attempt to enforce Orthodox conversions as the sole standard
It's here
This would have made the Jewish people even more divided.
Good news on the conversion front

And on the other hand, it would be great to get rid of some nasty people, who happen to be Jewish according to Orthodox rules. Names like Finkelstein, Avnery, Davis (Uriel, not the other one) comes to mind. |

Even more divided? How would they do that? Cutting each Israeli in two?
