Editing Conversion to Judaism (section)

==Interdenominational views==
In response to the tremendous variations that exist within the Reform community, the Conservative Jewish movement attempted to set a nuanced approach. The Conservative [[Committee on Jewish Law and Standards]] has issued a [[responsum|legal opinion]] stating that Reform conversions may be accepted as valid only when they include the minimal Conservative halachic requirements of [[milah]] and [[Tvilah|t'vilah]], appearance before a Conservative Beth Din, and a course of Conservative study. (''Proceedings of Committee on Jewish Law and Standards: 1980–1985'', pp.&nbsp;77–101.)

In general, branches of Orthodox Judaism consider non-Orthodox conversions either inadequate or of questionable halachic compliance, and such conversions are therefore not accepted by these branches of Judaism. Conversely, both Conservative and Reform Judaism accept the Orthodox conversion process as being valid. Since 2008, Haredi Orthodox religious courts in Israel have been rejecting conversions from a number of Orthodox rabbis, since the Chief Rabbinate do not accept the authority of the presiding rabbis.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://jewishweek.timesofisrael.com/israels-conversion-laws-are-about-to-get-stricter/|title=Israel's Conversion Laws Are About to Get Stricter|website=[[The Jewish Week]]|access-date=20 August 2019|archive-date=28 July 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200728210114/https://jewishweek.timesofisrael.com/israels-conversion-laws-are-about-to-get-stricter/|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3538630,00.html |title=Thousands of conversions questioned - Israel Jewish Scene, Ynetnews |newspaper=Ynetnews |date=2 May 2008 |publisher=Ynetnews.com |access-date=2012-07-21}}</ref>
