40 Rabbonim to Attend Fourth Eternal Jewish Family Dayanim Conference in NJ

Preparations are taking place for the fourth EJF Dayanim Conference, which is scheduled to take place November 8-10 at the Sheraton Meadowlands in Secaucus, NJ. 40 dayanim and roshei yeshivos will gather to confront crucial halachic issues that arise involving universally accepted Jewish conversion standards in intermarriage.

Most of the dayanim are part of a growing network of independent batei din in North America that have adopted the Jewish Conversion standards of leading poskim. The botei din function in cities such as Baltimore, Monsey, Philadelphia, Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, New York, Los Angeles, Milwaukee, Montreal, Miami, Lakewood, Dallas, Toronto, Houston, and Vancouver.

Last year’s conference was addressed by Rav Shmuel Kamenetsky, Rosh Yeshiva of the Yeshiva of Philadelphia and a member of the Moetzes Gedolei Hatorah of Agudas Yisroel; Rav Reuven Feinstein, Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshiva of Staten Island and Chairman of the Halachic Committee of EJF; Rav Dovid Olewski, Rosh Yeshiva of the Gerer Mesivta (Brooklyn); Rav Betzalel Tuvia Wettenstein, Belzer Dayan of Monsey; and Rav Eliyahu Levin, Rosh Kollel Choshen Mishpat of Lakewood.
