London Rabbonim Issue Statement On Eternal Jewish Family
The following statement was released by Signed by The London Beis Din, The State Beis Din and the Conference of European Rabbis in response to recent events surrounding the Eternal Jewish Family organization:
In conjunction with the decision of made by the standing committee of the Conference of European Rabbis (CER) that met in Moscow in the month of Kislev we strongly object to involvement of the organization known as the Eternal Jewish Family (EJF) in matters of conversion in Europe. By virtue of the fact that the abovementioned organization (EJF) involves itself in matters of conversion to actively influence gentiles to convert which is against the traditions of our community from previous times, and there is a concern for a breach of the walls of our faith in Europe, and by virtue of the fact that the leaders of this aforementioned organization caused a desecration of the Divine Name and a disgrace to the name of the Orthodox Rabbinate throughout the world in recent weeks, we the leaders of the Kehilos HaKodesh in Europe call upon the organization called the Eternal Jewish Family to cancel their planned seminar in Munich. If they do not heed our request we call upon the Rabbis that were invited to the seminar not to participate with them and to guard themselves from entering there.
Signed,
The London Beis Din
The State Beis Din
The Conference of European Rabbis

What is the London Beis Din?
It’s not the London Beth Din, that would have had nothing to do with EJF anyway!

“By virtue of the fact that the abovementioned organization (EJF) involves itself in matters of conversion to actively influence gentiles to convert which is against the traditions of our community from previous times, and there is a concern for a breach of the walls of our faith in Europe”
Yasher Koach to the Beis Din.
Nevertheless, the Badatz in Yerushlayim has been crying out against the EJF for years now on this very point!
