This is great news for people like my wife who was converted to Judaism by non-Orthodox rabbis, as well as my children who are not considered Jewish according to the Orthodox, but could hardly be considered anything but Jewish by any non-Jew. And as we learned from the Nazis, it is not always up to the Jews to determine who is Jewish when it matters most.

Court recognizes non-Orthodox abroad conversion of Israelis

People who undergo non-Orthodox conversions to Judaism overseas are entitled to Israeli citizenship under the Law of Return, even if the converts are Israeli residents who traveled overseas solely for the purpose of converting, the High Court of Justice ruled Thursday in a 7-4 decision.

That being said, she was born in Israel and is therefore considered Israeli anyway. What´s important is that she would now be considered a Jewish Israeli by the Israeli government.
