[Avodah] Rav Sternbuch's psak regarding kiruv of non-Jews

[Daniel Eidensohn]

Rav Shmuel Kaminetsky was asked this week whether he had given approval 
for a non-Jew with a Jewish father to joining a kiruv program since he 
already had a Jewish  identity. [The director of the kiruv program that 
sent me the non-Jew claimed that he had received a heter from Rav 
Kaminetsky] Rav Kaminetsky vehemently denied giving such a heter and 
said that all he had said was not to turn away a non-Jew with a Jewish 
father. He was not saying this in reference with participation in a 
kiruv organization. He said chas v'sholom to  allow a non-Jew with a 
Jewish identity joining a kiruv program - especially if it is co-ed.
