ARZA News update

July 15, 2010 

Dear friend,

As promised, we are trying to keep you fully informed about the developments with regard to the proposed changes to the Law of Conversion.

Please follow this link to read an article published yesterday on j-wire: Progressive and Reform Judaism facing Orthodox Control

Rabbi Uri Regev, head of Hiddush, has written an article in which he provides a detailed explanation of why the proposed changes are so unacceptable (click here to read the article: http://arza.org.au/?p=707).

Further, the statement and call to action from the World Union for Progressive Judaism: http://arza.org.au/?p=708.

JTA published an article “Opponents alarmed as Israeli conversion bill moves ahead” which can be read at: http://www.jta.org/news/article/2010/07/13/2740030/opponents-of-conversion-bill-hope-to-keep-it-in-holding-pattern.

All of this - and much more - can be found on the ARZA Australia website: www.arza.org.au.
