[Avodah] Chiyuv l'kabel gerim

[Moshe Y. Gluck]

R' Mikha'el Makovi:
> Everyone agrees that we try to dissuade would-be gerim. No question.

Not anymore. There are those who hold that today one should encourage
spouses of Jews to be M'gayeir, even when they have not expressed interest
themselves.

> Everyone agrees that once a would-be ger is accepted by the beit din,
> there IS a chiyuv to be m'kabel. No question.

I don't know what this means - what Halachic status does "acceptance by BD"
have? He is still a non-Jew, and we have not yet seen any clear sources that
there is a Chiyuv to be Mekabel him. If you mean that he was already
Megayeir, that's a different story, although I refer you to the Rambam that
when Hedyotos were M'gayeir people in Dovid's and Shlomo's time, BD waited
to see if their further actions proved them sincere.

Is a scan available of this Teshuvah?
