PopabaAbba: I will leave to the readers of this website to determine whether your comments make any sense. I,for one, attribute your comments to a good measure of le’chaim’s in the esrly morning.
DaasYochid and others: It is easy to be “a tsaddik in pelz” (ask your yiddish speaking relatives to explain this). Rabbi Lipman is a legislator in israel and it his responsibility to look out for the continuing welfare of Eretz Yisroel and its inhabitants. The question of people with jewish fathers is a real one- especially in israel. Hence, he is looking to ease the process of geirus and not to turn away any genuine geirim-of which there are many. Again, I am not endorsing his views as I think the normal way (as I described) complies with the feelings of the vast majority of prospective Geirim (I am speaking from personal experience). All i did was to defend him against the (unjust) attacks by posters on this website.
