Journalist Kobi Nachshoni on Monday morning reported in Yediot Aharonot that a soldier in an elite IDF unit turned to the military rabbinic court for conversion, asking to expedite the process which he began over ten months ago.
After fighting with his unit in Kfar Aza on October 7, the soldier and his unit were sent to northern Israel, where he turned to the rabbinic military court for conversion.
Standing in front of the court, the soldier explained, in a voice choked with tears, why he desired to expedite the process. "I really wanted to come here today and complete the conversion, because I know that I may die in battle - and if that happens, G-d forbid, I want to die as a Jew," he explained. "This is why it is important to me not to wait.
At the end of the discussion, he said, "Everything that happened in the battles came out of me at that moment. This is the first time I allowed myself to let out everything that I had bottled up inside of me since the beginning of the war. Because of everything I saw there, I understood that I need to do everything in order to complete the conversion process as quickly as possible."
On the day he appeared before the rabbinical court, the conversion process was completed.

Not sure if this specific motivation is sufficient to establish a valid kosher giyur.

Read the article, buddy. He was already on the way, he just wanted that rabbanim to hurry up, no problem with this. We Jews should welcome a guy like this instead of twisting your thumb to invalidate a giur.
Every other ohev Yisroel's inclinations however laudable wouldn't have turned them into jews
Sorry that isn't the MO of authentic Judaism
If it would be, by now very little would have been left
Take you stupid head out of the sand, you have no clue about the frum conversion process so shut the hell up while you are ahead.
To Phil Esquire 7:00 PM
But would you marry your daughter to a "sofek" invalid giur ?

"sofek" ger to whom? The Rabbanute says that he is a ger, what the hell is your problem? Because it doesn't fit into your Yeshivishe amaratzes?
If he is a ger al pi rabbanute, he is a Jew "le'chol hadeis"
You show that you know nothing about converts, this happens to be my field.
How emotional. Just hoping he should live like a Jew
Showing YOUR ignorance.predictable
What a holy NESHAMA, who wants to speed up his GEIRUS, before going into Gaza to save his fellow Jews to make sure he dies as a Jew.
And here we have filthy satanic RESHAIM with all kinds of vicious PILPULIM why they don't consider him Jewish.
You are the ones who are not Jewish, you must have the NESHAMA of AMALEK.
Ahh..the definition of Jewish acc. to ?
Sell it down the river
There are also wonderful shvartzes slaving in our facilities, with Yiddish vocabulary
who decide random they should be considered Jewish
Cohen Y
shut the hell up already, this soldier was only weeks away from getting his giur done, all he asked was that it be expedited. You comparing "shvartzes" to this special neshama who is prepared to give his life for the Jewish people. How low are you sinking?
How much hate do you have? Are you mezera yisrael? I doubt it.
Ahh,as simple as that..because yediot is pushing it
Want a bridge?
COHEN
YOU MUST BE SOME 'BAAL TESHUVA' YOURSELF, NO FFB THINKS LIKE THIS. YOU ALREADY BOUGHT A 'BRIDGE TO NOWHERE' BELIEVING YOUR NAIVE AND DUMB RABBIS WHO HAVE NO CLUE ABOUT THE CONVERSION PROCESS. DEEP DOWN YOU ARE FEELING GUILY BECAUSE YOU ARE PROBABLEY NOT SURE ABOUT YOUR OWN YICHUS. THE RABBANUTE APPROVED HIM AND THAT IS ALL THAT COUNTS, IF YOU DONT AGREE GO FLY A KITE.
Unsurprisingly. Ad hominems now.
my yichus & family standing are better than yours
Shall we venture that route?
Robosai have we learned not anything yer not only from the recent events-Jews battlijg on Yom Kippor-but 1947 years of Galus......we have to stop attacking eachother
