I once heard a giyores, Chasida Flanders speak. When the rabbi was testing her and he asked her what muktza is, she was able to rattle off the 5 categories of muktza (muktza machmas mi'us etc.)! That showed she was SERIOUS about mastering Hilchos Shabbos! |
someone sincere can have a bad memory... or someone "interested" (= not in Judaism) can make a big effort... although as a whole you are right

Okay, so if the yetzer hara was that big that she couldn't keep even the first Shabbos, well, I'm sorry, she seems like a wanna-be but isn't. It just sounds plain silly. But hey, if reputable rabbis say that a convert who violates their first Shabbos is a Jew ... it's a nebach on the convert

I agree with imaonwheels that a lot of the problems with conversions in Israel is because of a desire to convert Russians. What advantages in Israel are there to convert , besides to marry a Jew, for a Russian already living in Israel?

Ten year old thread.
I befriended Chasida Flanders many years ago and we lost touch. I think she used to lecture in Bais Yakovs.
She was looking to get married, and possibly has a different name.
Anyone know?
