December 5, 2021   

The Minister of Religious Services, Matan Kahane, said this morning (Sunday) that the grandchild clause in the Law of Return should be abolished. The vaccine for children aged 5-11 is recommended by doctors: a special response for parents It's unimaginable: injury, hunger, and thirst • So how should mice be caught? Everyone adopts one vaccinated person: Have you already convinced a friend, neighbor, or relative? In an interview with Kalman Libeskind and Assaf Lieberman on the B network, Kahane stated that in his assessment there is no chance of the move in the current coalition. "If they had accepted the Gavison-Madan agreement 20 years ago, today there would be no such clause. Israel is strong enough that if a Jew's grandson suffers from anti-Semitism in the world, we would know how to bring him to Israel even without this clause." Regarding the conversion reform that he is promoting, Kahane said that there are about 450,000 people in Israel whose father or grandfather was Jewish and according to halakhah they are not recognized as Jews - and not enough has been done to date to bring them closer to conversion according to halakhah. "There is broad agreement in the coalition that this needs to be handled in a halakhic manner. It is the mission of our generation to bring these people closer to conversion according to halakhah. According to the coalition agreement, we will open halakhic conversion in Israel to city rabbis. People are looking for a real conversion, a certificate that shows that Israel recognizes their conversion. We can bring these people closer to Judaism. "The formation has not done enough to bring these people closer to Judaism to date. "If we make a significant change, we can attract thousands more to convert according to Halacha and bring them back home to Judaism.".
