I am writing to seek clarification on a matter related to Jewish identity and recognition within the State of Israel. Suppose a woman undergoes a conversion to Reform Judaism in the UK and subsequently she has children and raises them in the Jewish tradition. In such a scenario, could you provide information on whether the children of this converted Reform woman would be considered Jewish and recognized as such by the State of Israel? and if the converted woman lives in Israel and subsequently she has children born in Israel would they be considered Jewish? Thank you for your time and assistance. I look forward to receiving any insights or resources you can share on this matter.

Thanks for your question. No, a reform conversion is not valid in Israel for obvious reasons, not for the mother, nor for her children and grandchildren. It is relatively simple and does not entail the significant effort worthy of such a challenging, complex and responsible undertaking as joining the Jewish People. If you or this woman would attend an orthodox conversion program, you would see the vast difference which speaks for itself.
