Overview of Talmud Bavli Sources on Conversion. R' Menashe Klein: Conversions in the USSR in the 1980s (Mishneh Halachot 13:16 4-5). Converting a Minor. - Nov 3, 2024 - The Chassidic descendant of the Noda Biyhudah. The N.B.'s teshuvah against Chassidim. Mussar movement and the Rav. Mishneh Halachot 13:16 4 and 165. An overview and analysis of the very small number of sources in Talmud Bavli dealing with conversion. Conversion (C) for ulterior motives. C for psychological reasons. C in time of Kings David and Solomon. Rambam Issurei Bi'ah 13:15 . C out of fear or economic benefits. Waiting to see future behavior of convert. Inform convert about Jewish suffering, a variety of mitzvot, and also the increased economic costs of being Jewish. The convert who intends to live like Moshe Dayan. Are converts a benefit or a problem? Converting minors is linked to issue of whether C is a benefit or a cost. Person in adulthood discovers he was converted as a child. Where convert is to live is important such as in N.Y., small-town America, or Israel. In the 1980s, that life in Israel was superior to in USSR was an issue with respect to the validity of Cs. R' Menashe's advice to someone working with Jews in Russia: Don't get involve with Cs. What if only the father was Jewish? Why Israeli citizenship was granted if only one grandparent was Jewish.
