[Avodah] geirim

[Eli Turkel]

<<Indeed - ALL gerim are not going to be able to keep all the mitzvot at
first - like a bar mitzvah. It's simply impossible for it to be
otherwise. Heck, an FFB is not able to keep ALL the mitzvot properly!
So practical observance of the mitzvot cannot possibly be measured by
anything except the effort and the intent.

So putting acceptance of the obligation per se aside, no one, no one
(including RMF), can insist on perfect mitzvah performance - it is
literally and objectively impossible. The only difference opinion
there can be is, is the required degree of success (by the ger) in
keeping all the mitzvot - NO ONE will succeed, but some will be better
than others. RMF and RMA can argue on this, but they cannot argue on
whether or not the ger must keep the mitzvot perfectly.>>

The problem is that some batei dinim in Israel do indeed demand more of geirim
than many orthodox Jews keep in practice
