Specifically, the quote: "It seemed that officials of the Israeli government, which "has traditionally not accepted conversions done in liberal streams of Judaism"
Does this need an additional sentence of explanation on the word "liberal," since we're talking about Orthodox rabbis here? One unfamiliar with the topic might read the word "liberal" and assume "Reform"

I wondered the same thing as soon as I read it. Apparently, a previous editor selected only half of the explanation provided in the Forward article: more usual is the rejection of "liberal" conversions, but more relevant in this case is the omitted phrase about "conversions by Orthodox rabbis not on its list of approved authorities" mentioned in the subsequent sentence. I corrected it. Martindo ( talk) 03:55, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
