Reply To: Sephardim and gerim

i am a sefardi and do not agree at all with this this view (i come from an other middle eastern country) and does it not say in the torah that that it is asur to antaganize a ger? so in responce to the original question… no- this is only in the syrian comminities. also, a few years ago there was a woman trying to convert, but the syrians would not let her, so rebbi ovadia yosef had to come and assure the syrian communities that she is a kosher convert and should be accepted.
