RCA and Rabbanut Reach Agreement

After almost a year, the RCA and the Israeli Chief Rabbinate have a deal worked out.

Looks like everyone got their cake and gets to eat it, too. Rabbanut gets the RCA to get serious and tough on conversions. I've done a conversion with R' Freundel, and know that he's serious about giyur standards. RCA gets to remain the address for orthodox conversions in the US. Everybody's happy.
