	The Neeman Report on the Conversion Law
		The Committee’s members reached unanimous agreement that, beyond the question of the dispute between the streams of Judaism, a consensual solution must be found in the matter of conversion.
		Committee members approve of the organization’s approach, which enables immigrants who are not Jews - where possible, together with their Jewish family members - to learn about the world of Judaism in an open manner, without any obligation on their part.
		The composition of the Committee, which included, among others, a representative of the Reform movement and a representative of the Conservative movement, reflects a trend of cooperation among the streams of Judaism and toward unity of the Jewish people, a trend that is to be maintained.

	Constitution for Israel - Override Clauses
		According to the Neeman proposal, the override mechanism could be utilized for ten years after the passage of the Constitution.
		The Neeman Commission’s recommendation was based on lessons learned from the Basic Law: Freedom of Occupation, which indicated to the Commission that a gradual move toward supremacy of the Constitution of ordinary legislation is preferable.
		The Committee discussed the question of whether an override clause could be used preemptively, or only in response to a Supreme Court decision voiding a law.

	clock
		It has been some time since the Neeman Committee recommendations for a compromise solution on conversion were published, and there has been no sign of progress towards acceptance of the proposals from the Israeli Rabbinate.
		This was the condition upon which the Reform and Conservative movements had agreed to call a moratorium on all litigation to the Supreme Court on behalf of their converts; they have now decided to press forward in order to obtain results.
		The actual details of the text are unknown, but it is presumed to be similar to the previous bill, which was withdrawn when the Neeman Committee began its work to find a compromise solution.

		He was "extremely relieved" by the formation three weeks ago of a ministerial steering committee on the Pollard case.
		Pollard, 42, said he was "a bit confused, to say the least, over the rather tardy and rather unfocused activity of the committee," and alleged that the forum hadn't met since an initial session.
		He alleged that his treatment by Jewish groups "is not the result of just their galut [Diaspora] fears, but also because of the government's political establishment's approach to the case over the past 13 years.

	Information Division, Israel Foreign Ministry - Jerusalem
		Regev was particularly incensed by the state's claim that the government-appointed Neeman Committee had recommended a solution to the conversion dispute between the Orthodox establishment and the Reform and Conservative movements in Israel and abroad.
		One of the suggestions discussed by the committee was the establishment of a conversion institute which would include teachers from the three main religious streams.
		The Reform and Conservative movements refused to sign the committee report and recommendations because the Chief Rabbinate would not promise in advance to recognize the institute's converts or to meet with the Reform and Conservative representatives on the committee.

	The 4% fallacy
		A previous tax reform committee headed by former treasury director-general Avi Ben-Bassat, which presented its recommendations two years ago, suggested another major source of financing.
		Yet another defunct reform, compiled by the Neeman Committee of 1998, made the same recommendation, but the Rabinovitch panel passed over this option.
		According to Meir Kapota, the acting director of the treasury's State Revenues Administration and one of the architects of the Rabinovitch Committee: "We learned lessons from the failure of the two (previous) committees.

	Orthodox and Non-Orthodox Judaism: How to Square the Circle
		Here is where the Neeman Committee's solution is so ingenious and important, precisely because it does appear to square the circle to everyone's advantage in some ways and to everyone's disadvantage in others.
		I like to think that this understanding is why there has been a reluctance on both sides to cross the brink, but sooner or later we must bite the bullet and that time has now come.
		The Neeman Committee has provided us with an elegant way to do so.

	The WZO Elections - A New Beginning? - Daniel J. Elazar (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		Interestingly enough, while these election results were being announced, the Neeman Committee headed by the Israeli Finance Minister, himself an Orthodox Jew with all the bona fides necessary, proposed reasonable steps for just such an adjustment, only to have them turned down immediately by the 23-member "religious bloc" in the Knesset.
		At the beginning of the last week in October, the disappointing news was that the Neeman Committee, established to work out a modus vivendi between Israel's Chief Rabbinate and the Conservative and Reform movements reached another stalemate and the two non-Orthodox movements announced that they would renew their petition to Israel's supreme court.
		The disappointment on the part of the moderates in the Orthodox camp was palpable in the interviews with them that were broadcast on the radio.

	A question of rabbinical conscience - Jewish Media Resources
		American Reform leaders initially decided to reject the Neeman Committee recommendations because of the lack of explicit assurance that their candidates would automatically pass muster.
		Yet in response to the only question posed to it by Finance Minister Yaakov Neeman, the Chief Rabbinate undertook to consider, on an individual basis, any candidate for conversion, including graduates of government or Jewish Agency-created conversion institutes.
		As Yossi Sarid, one of the Reform movement's chief allies, said recently, 'The Neeman recommendations are nothing more than a temporary solution in an ongoing struggle.' A few months from now, we will see much more fundamental challenges in the Supreme Court to the Chief Rabbinate's jurisdiction.

	No room for compromise - Jewish Media Resources
		The Neeman Committee, charged with finding a compromise solution to avoid a clash with Diaspora Jewry over the conversion bill, set itself a task worthy of Rumpelstiltskin.
		THOSE who charge that the Orthodox parties' rejection of the Neeman proposals is determined by extra-halachic considerations are thus either ignorant of Halacha or contemptuous of it.
		The charge is but one more shot in a sustained disinformation campaign conducted by the Conservative and Reform movements for the past year.
