Wonderful show hosted by Shlomo Goldberg on army preparation for conversion of russian immigrants . They are of jewish seed but not halachically jewish . They must be approved at end of process with courts/beit din rabbinical judges of state( mamlachti) conversion board and they prepare with help of army judaic classes for 7 weeks of intense study. Then they do further intense study training and entire process takes 6 months. They are also adopted by orthodox families on shabbat. If approved by state rabbinical beit din they get tefilin, meat/milk dishes/ shabbat candles all gifts from state. Rabbi Druckman is interviewed and a young couple who met in nativ conversion course. Religious Army General Eliezer Stern started Nativ program at Israeli army. Rabbi Druckman says that state rabbinical beit din courts ( mamlachti) that do regular citizen conversions are same courts that do army conversions and there is no difference. The main difference is that soldiers are prepared with courses and training for conversion for 7 weeks with intense study and adoption by orthodox families during their training. Rabbi Druckman works for state conversion board of israel in government and is disliked by ultra orthodox who dont care enough about many russian immigrants who desire to join jewish nation.You are a a righteous soul Rabbi Druckman. Rabbi Amsalem and Rav Ovadia Yosef have accepted army nativ conversions and have been supportive. However Haredi Rabbi Elyashiv protests them and called it assimilation.
