Rabbi Shlomo Riskin, Rabbi of Efrat in Gush Etzion and founder of Ohr Torah Stone, strongly criticized hareidi Knesset members on Tuesday for their stance on the government's conversion reforms.
In an interview with Galei Yisrael radio, Rabbi Riskin defended the proposed government decision regarding conversion which would remove Chief Rabbinate supervision of the conversion process, and criticized its opponents.
"I do not understand the whole issue. Yes, I think there is a (Torah) commandment of 'you shall love the convert.' Yes, I think that the Chief Rabbinate until now did not know what it is to get someone who wants to convert treated properly, with love and care," he fired. "How dare they say that my conversions were not done according to Jewish Law?"
And then he announces that homosexuality is permissible and wonders "Why don't Chareidim take me seriously"?
ReplyDeleteAnd then the Chareidim announced that adultery and suicide, not to mention all other arayos, are permissible, and they wonder why rational peopel don't take them seriously?
ReplyDeleteI remember when he first said this- " and I do all my conversions with tons of love"..
ReplyDeleteWhat a quack!
