Eternal Jewish Family Presents Exhibit at Torah Umesorah Convention

EJF HAD PROMINENT exposure when it presented an exhibit at Torah Umesorah’s Annual Leadership convention which took place at the Friar Tuck Inn in Catskill, New York.  “It was a great opportunity to meet educators from around the world and brief them on our availability as an important resource in their work,” said Mrs. Rochel Weinstein, Director of Communications for Eternal Jewish Family.  According to Mrs. Weinstein, participants were “gratified to discover the existence of an organization that can help them deal with some of the consequences of improper conversions to Judaism and direct potential halachic Jewish converts to qualified rabbonim and batei din.  ”Educators from both remote and mainstream Jewish communities throughout the United States expressed the same common struggles with yuchsin issues in their own schools. “The general public may be surprised to learn that Jewish conversion issues occur in every spectrum of the Jewish educational system”, said Mrs. Weinstein.  “No one knows it more than these educators who frequently have the painful task of identifying families with improper conversions to Judaism.”
