yytz -“Health, review the Shulchan Aruch. The acceptance of mitzvah does not require, and never has, that the ger have 100% accurate knowledge about what all the mitzvos are and how exactly you follow them. If that were the case then we might as well give male gerim semicha at the same time we convert them! Ignorance about the current interpretations of one or more mitzvos does not indicate a lack of kabalas mitzvos.”

I know the S’A and all I have to say to you is practice what you preach -“Who gave anonymous internet commenters the right to be armchair poskim trying making the world more difficult for gerim?”

Because if there isn’t Kabbolas Hamitzvos -they aren’t Jewish.

“Furthermore, headcoverings are a special case, because many generations of pious Ashkenazim didn’t cover there hair, and this has continued to this day in some MO communities. So if a woman converts in one of those communities and right afterward marries and doesn’t cover her hair, it probably shouldn’t indicate she didn’t accept the mitzvos (unless, perhaps, the beis din discussed the issue with her and specifically told her it’s a mitzvah).

Now if she’s not covering her hair immediately after conversion in a community where all the women do cover their hair, that’s different, but because of the special history and status of this mitzvah, I’m hesitant to say it would necessarily indicate a lack of kabalas mitzvos. I’m also hesitant because I think it’s inappropriate for anonymous commenters to give halachic opinions on actual cases (such as the case discussed in this thread)!”

I really hope you don’t grow up to be a Poisek. You wrote a long-winded post without convincing anybody but yourself.

My point was – She Doesn’t Know Better! There can’t possibly be Kabbolas Hamitzvos if she thinks that it isn’t wrong. It’s much worse than eating Treif which she knows is Wrong.

Almost e/o holds there is a Chiyuv to cover your hair.

Acc. to you she doesn’t ever need to cover her hair and she is a Jew nonetheless. Naarish!

You need to have Kabbolas Hamitzvos even if noone informed her that there is a Chiyuv to cover her hair. Just because she isn’t covering her hair B’shoggeg doesn’t mean she ever had Kabbolas of all the Mitzvos.
