Israel's Sefardic Chief Rabbi Shlomo Amar testified before a Knesset committee about…
…conversions.
Rabbi Amar faced a hostile committee upset about the draconian conversion process Amar controls.
Here is how Amar responded to the committee's challenge:
Rabbi Amar announced that he would appoint a committee to investigate the conversion process. This announcement sparked confusion because only several weeks ago, an inter-ministry committee appointed by Amar to do exactly the same thing completed its investigation and submitted a report. Amar said that this new committee would, among other things, look into the possibility of a more creative conversion process. According to Amar, criminals are trying to infiltrate the conversion process. He said that in order to prevent this "we used police crime scene investigators and espionage."
Who are the "criminals" "infiltrating" the conversion process? Perhaps this man.
