So it's a good thing courts don't recognize each other's giyurs. At least the eidah giyurs aren't recognized by the mediah, so when someone from the soviet bloc is migayer thorough them at least it can be surmised that they didn't do it for the new oleh freebies.

Theywere pr9obably the most reliable geirus-often no funds even accepted by the Rabbis andeven those who would accept it was not thier business. As a clsoe friend of mine stated look I do a couple of geirus a year and refuse to accept anything even expenses-and yet the Chief Rabbinate accepts this person X-a well known aggressive hashgacha allower-major business hashgacha. It doesn't smell right.<BR/><BR/>mycroftAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8030144.post-10511312050518936722007-05-19T21:09:00.000+03:002007-05-19T21:09:00.000+03:00Rav Druckman gave the Geirus.Isn't that enough?Can...Rav Druckman gave the Geirus.Isn't that enough?Can anyone really know now what she actually said then.This judgment now is unbelievable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8030144.post-888049836319112932007-05-18T13:10:00.000+03:002007-05-18T13:10:00.000+03:00while i agree in general with your post- perhaps t...while i agree in general with your post- perhaps the admission that she never intended to follow halacha differentiates this case from the standard psak that conversions are permanentAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8030144.post-439732119746701442007-05-17T15:00:00.000+03:002007-05-17T15:00:00.000+03:00There's no doubt in my mind that had Geveret Lubit...There's no doubt in my mind that had Geveret Lubitch been reresenting the same woman in the same divorce, but instead of an amicable situation she was an "agunah", Lubitch would have demanded that the dayanim issue such a ruling (which would allow dispensing with a get) and would have written a column as to why the dayanim are "insensitive" to the needs of women by holding them chained to dead marriages instead of finding creative solutions such as cancelling the conversion so as to release the agunah.<BR/><BR/>Everything is relative when one has an agenda to attack the Rabbinical establishment.Ben Bayithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10540723595738423002noreply@blogger.com
