Sorry guys but as time goes by, it seems their Shabbos observance is rapidly going out the window. No more pretenses about asking shailos.
And yes, I believe converts are held to a higher standard because they presumably CHOSE to take on the mitzvos. If one is quick to throw it all off, their motives are rightfully doubted. We all chose to accept the Torah at Har Sinai, but unfortunately for many there’s that generational disconnect.
Jared’s Jewish heart l, as history has proven, doesn’t bode well for his family’s future Yiddishkeit. Hence we should never give a pass and substitute someone’s good deeds for the Torah’s requirement of basic mitzvah observance. It’s nice that one cares about fellow Jews, but for Yiddishkeit to have staying power a lot more is needed. We can’t turn a blind eye, and surely Beis Din shouldn’t either.
