The ministerial committee on legislation rejected on Sunday a bill by Member of Knesset Shlomo Molla (Kadima) that would make it illegal to undo conversions to Judaism. Molla proposed the legislation after many people contacted his office about conversions being annulled, including those performed through the conversion-assistance program of Rabbi Chaim Druckman, which have been criticized by hareidi-religious authorities.
MK Molla said, "It's a policy that harasses immigrants, precisely those people who have chosen to live their lives in Israel in spite of the difficulties. The Labor and Yisrael Beiteinu parties are once again folding up the flag of immigrant absorption and when put to the test, they wave a white flag and submit to the hareidim.
