Matan Kahana
The call from National Unity MK Matan Kahana comes after Yesh Atid lawmaker Elazar Stern expressed a similar desire.
The government was shaken by failure to pass a bill giving Israel legal jurisdiction over citizens in Judea and Samaria, then suffered a second blow when it failed to ratify the appointment of the religious services minister.
Ministerial greenlighting of the legislation, proposed by Religious Services Minister Matan Kahana, paves the way for a first reading in the Knesset.
In a letter to the prime minister, Rabbi David Lau warns that proposed conversion reforms “will cause a massive rift in the Jewish people” • It’s “painful” that Lau would halt conversions, says Religious Services Minister Matan Kahana.
Orthodox Knesset members oppose Religious Service Minister Matan Kahana’s proposed conversion framework, claiming that it would lead to mass assimilation.
“We want to find ways to help them, to establish courts that see converts as an asset,” says Religious Services Minister Matan Kahana.
“This is part of the war against religious services, the ultimate goal of which is to abolish Israel’s Jewish identity,” said the rabbinate of Religious Services Minister Matan Kahana’s planned reform.
