Description
Video: https://youtu.be/vYFXl56jh3s Discussing the Syrian community's edict banning converts from entering the community - its historical background, halachic mechanism, strengths, weaknesses, and evolution. This panel was meant to educate and inform the students in the rabbis' classes, not actively change any communal policy. Rabbi Ike Sultan is the CEO of Halachpedia.com and a Rebbe in the BMP Program at YU. His Chavruta, Rabbi Mordechai Djavaheri is a Rebbe in the IBC Program. They both have many Sephardic students, including those of Syrian and Persian decent.
