The only issue I have is that his mother is disappointed he is marrying a convert.

I am very disappointed that the mother is in violation of Jewish law, which says we must treat sincere converts as full Jews.

I mean I can understand if she was looking forward to having a Jewish machatones (IE you) and now will miss that particular social connection, but she is, I think, positively obligated by Jewish law to hide any such concern.

I pray that she becomes learned enough in halacha to realize the honor we as a people are to grant to converts.

[i]The prayer identifies six categories of deserving individuals: (1) Tzaddikim – the righteous, those motivated by justice, who are meticulous in mitzvos; (2) Chasidim – the pious, those motivated by love, who go beyond the letter of the law; (3) Ziknei Amcha – the elders of the nation, the spiritual leaders of the people; (4) Pleitas Sofreihem – the remnant of the nation’s teachers, those select few who dedicate their lives to teaching Torah; (5) [b]Geirei HaTzedek – sincere converts, who left their old lives behind to cling to the Jewish people;[/b] and (6) Aleinu – us, the simple but well-meaning Jews, even if we’re nothing special. We pray that all of these, including ourselves, enjoy God’s mercy.

Good shabbos to all. [/quote]
