An ongoing spat between Jewish leaders in America and Israel has inadvertently revealed the—until now—secret workings behind Israel’s often denied laws which outlaw marriage between Jews and non-Jews and ensure Jewish racial purity.
According to an article initially published in the Jewish Telegraphic Agency and then reprinted in the Times of Israel, to “be married in Israel, immigrants must prove their Jewish ancestry to the country’s Chief Rabbinate.”
People who want to marry in Israel must, according to the article, “can solicit a letter from their hometown rabbis or present their parents’ Jewish marriage contracts. Sometimes they even bring a Yiddish-speaking grandmother before a rabbinical court.”
This “hometown rabbi” can be in any nation around the globe—as all Jews have the right of residence in Israel at the same time.
However, all claims have to pass through one rabbi in Israel, named by the JTA and the Times of Israel as rabbi Itamar Tubul, pictured below.
His name has emerged after a dispute over the credentials of a rabbi in America.
According to the Times of Israel:
Tubul, 35, is the soft-spoken rabbi who heads the Chief Rabbinate’s personal status division — a job that places him at the center of a brewing crisis between the Chief Rabbinate and the American Modern Orthodox community.
In October, Tubul rejected a proof-of-Judaism letter from Avi Weiss, a liberal Orthodox rabbi. The move sparked widespread outrage that Weiss, a longtime synagogue leader in New York who had vouched for the Jewishness of many Israeli immigrants in the past, was suddenly having his reliability called into question.
Tubul rejected the letter from Weiss after two members of the Rabbinical Council of America, the Modern Orthodox rabbinic organization of which Weiss is a longstanding member, questioned Weiss’ commitment to Orthodox Jewish law.
“They said there were problems with his worldview,” Tubul told JTA. “His system raised doubts regarding his non-deviation from what is accepted in matters of proof of Judaism and personal status.”
To make his recommendations, Tubul relies on a network of personal contacts. His first step is to confer with judges on nine U.S. rabbinical courts approved by the Chief Rabbinate. If the judges don’t know the rabbi in question or doubt his credentials, they refer Tubul to local colleagues.
After soliciting their recommendations, Tubul accepts or rejects the letter. Tubul told JTA that he corresponds with at least three rabbis regarding every American letter he investigates and never rejects a letter based solely on an initial negative recommendation.
America’s Abe Foxman, head of the Anti-Defamation League, has also weighed in on the debate, writing in an opinion piece on the Times of Israel website that the decision not to trust rabbi Weiss’s decisions was causing a rift in “Jewish unity.”
Imagine for a minute if any other country on earth had to outlaw marriages between Jews and non-Jews, and then conduct intensive background checks on all applicants to make sure that they were not Jewish before granting them a marriage license?
And this is all endorsed by Foxman and other Jewish Supremacist hypocrites, who spend all their time accusing everyone else of “racism” when in fact they are the biggest racists of them all.
* Of course, there is no coverage of any of this in the Jewish Supremacist-controlled mass media, who will always cover up and hide Jewish racism against Gentiles.
