One gets the impression reading many of the comments about the current conversion crisis - that it is simply politics - with Rabbi Druckman the victim because he is not chareidi.
Unfortunately this is not the case. There have been serious objections to Rabbi Druckman's conversions for many years - on the basis of halachic concerns as well as legal ones.

Rabbi Eidensohn, with this post you have finally nailed your coffin shut.
ReplyDeleteAny pretense that your blog is for an open presentation of the issues is now dead.
Any pretense that your idea of "Daas Torah" takes in all legitimate views fairly is now dead.
Well, there are more important things to go and deal with today, such as having a Chag Same'ach!

============
You seem to presume that that Rabbi Druckman's opponents are dead wrong and that any presentation of their views is a proof of bias on my part?
How would you present both sides of this issue without presenting the claims of both sides?
