Now here is an example of suspect motives. Liz either converted to marry Mike Todd or Eddie Fisher, not out of a deeply held philosophical desire or a long search into man's religions. Yet, jews seem proud of this conversion.
Yes, Liz was beautiful and rich, but the next few rounds of mates were hardly jewish and there is no evidence that she insisted on Burton, Warner or Fortensky converting.
Yet, Elizabeth Taylor, who could have dumped Judaism like last year's diamond necklace was true. She donated to jewish charities and was buried according to jewish tradition.
How much more should we welcome the convert who wants to be jewish after careful study and a thorough search into their lives and hearts. Not every one will remain faithful any more than any other follower of any other religion. To insist on 100% is silly. But let's be welcoming whether they be a "Sparkling White Diamonds" or "Black Pearls". Yes, I own Miss Taylor's fragrances!
The Maximalist.
