Eternal Jewish Family Holds Conference in Boston
By Betzalel Kahn
Eternal Jewish Family, headed by HaRav Reuven Feinstein, held
a three-day conference this week at the Hyatt Hotel in Boston
following the success of the conference held in Jerusalem in
Av.
At this week's conference hundreds of rabbonim from
throughout the US discussed the measures to be taken to put a
stop to the breaches in the area of conversion. Chairman
HaRav Leib Tropper, who is highly regarded by gedolei
Yisroel and serves as rosh yeshiva of Yeshivas Kol Yaakov
in Monsey, said this week's conference was an important
milestone. "At the conferences held previously we succeeded
in formulating a long series of guidelines, some of which
have already been implemented, and they solve many problems
that arose as a result of the large-scale conversions. These
conversions, which posed a threat to Klal Yisroel,
even harmed the converts themselves, who often believed
they had been properly converted whereas the truth was
otherwise. We have made great progress and hope to reap
additional achievements be'ezras Hashem."
The hundreds of US rabbonim were joined by Eternal Jewish
Family rabbonim from Eretz Hakodesh, including HaRav
Shmuel Eliezer Stern, chairman of the halacha committee in
Eretz Yisroel, HaRav Simchah Hacohen Kook, rav and gavad of
Rechovot, HaRav Nachum Eisenstein, chairman of Vaad Haolami
LeInyonei Giyur, and Chief Rabbi Shlomo Amar.
The conference was sponsored by the Kaplan Family Foundation,
which supports all Eternal Jewish Family activities.
