Yes, reform and conservative conversions are invalid and worthless
Yes, someone with a Jewish father and non Jewish mother is not Jewish unless they convert the orthodox way
This shouldn’t be controversial
They are halachic facts
Deal with it
Disagree? Cry more
There are only two communities in the entire west who are capable of successful anarchy (local order without the imposed and arbitrary rule of the state) - the Amish, and the Orthodox Jews.
Statism is the result of a degenerated culture incapable of governing itself.
To those in Israel who broke their fast and to all Jewish communities across the world:
I’m wishing you a very peaceful and reflective Yom Kippur. May this year be profound.
Always proud to stand with you.
Post Yom Kippur message:
We need to stand together as frum Jews and all our not yet frum brethren who respect the Torah should be respected.
However we cannot have true unity with most of the non observant, this tweet proves it. I posted something about a famous CEO with a Jewish father, that he’s not Jewish. Dozens of accounts started attacking me.
Most people on frum X have no idea how many secular Jews truly believe that people with a Jewish father are fully Jewish if they choose to identify as such.
Not only is this blatantly against Halacha, it is also straight out kefirah.
We pasken that a Jew is someone who’s born to a Jewish mother or who converts according to Halacha (nowadays known as an orthodox conversion). That’s it.
This shouldn’t be a controversial opinion. It’s one of the basic tenants of our religion. If someone argues with you about this, do not waste your time on them. It’s not a two-sided argument. It’s a clear one, where one side is 100% wrong and the other is 100% right.
