Question
Hello, I am about to get married, and the proposed girl's mother is a convert, while her father is Israeli. The mother came here from Britain and after some time decided to convert, which she did through the Chief Rabbinate of Israel. She was a religious Zionist. I have no information other than having seen the certificate once. From what I understand, she observed Shabbat, modesty, kashrut, etc., immediately after the conversion, according to the timeline I have. She then married an Israeli (she may have known him before) and after a few years became Haredi, placing the children in Haredi institutions. The children are raised in mitzvot like true Haredim, with boys in yeshivas and girls in Beit Yaakov seminaries. Is this conversion valid, and is the girl kosher? Or should we check who the judges were that conducted the conversion and signed it? Will my children have difficulties in shidduchim in the Haredi community because of the grandmother? (As is known, today you can find out everything about everyone...)
Answer
Hello
Answer from our teacher, the Gaon, Rabbi A. Fried, shlita:
She is a kosher Jew in every respect, and there are no concerns regarding shidduchim.
