>>When I learned the sugya of Giyyur with R. Parness one summer  [circa 1973]
he concluded that a prospective ger who is mekabel "ol mitzovs"  - despite
admitting that he might give in to temptation - is  acceptable.  IOW he did
not have to plege absolute compliance, just  sincere acceptance.

What more can one ask from any normal human?   can perfection ever be
considered a  prerequesite?<<


>>>>>
Who in the world ever demanded a promise of perfection as a prerequisite  for 
gerus?!
And who ever nullified a gerus on the grounds that the convert turned  out to 
be a less than perfect tzaddik?!
