I promise you, there is a lot more to this story.
So, where can we find the details online?
"Criminals"? --- Bank robbers? Murderers? Rapists? Embezzlers? What
it sounds like the start down a
slippery slope, deciding if someone can be "tentatively" Jewish based
on how she conducts herself over the next few decades.
That is not what happened at all. As far as the Israeli rabbanut is
concerned, this woman was NEVER Jewish. There was a problem with the
legitimacy of the court that performed the conversion in the first place
[and if I had to take a guess, I would suspect that the problem was that
this "special court" was performing quickie conversions for people who
were
unwilling to commit to torah and mitzvos and therefore did not qualify
for
legitimate O conversions performed by the regular rabbanut, so after the
rabbanut turned them down, they approached the *special court* and paid a
sum of money to convert in name only.]
"The judge in fact ruled that all conversions signed by the special
conversion court were invalid, because the court was headed by "heretics"
and "criminals".
crimes were these rabbis convicted of?
Eliyahu
Hell hath no fury like rabbinic wrath towards one another.
