When physical disabilities prevent traditional Jewish conversion rituals, can halakhic law adapt without compromising religious authenticity? Through examination of a groundbreaking case involving a tetraplegic woman unable to undergo ritual immersion (tevilah) due to medical risk, established Jewish legal precedent revealed a viable alternative pathway. Working with the Conservative movement's Committee on Jewish Law and Standards, the conversion process was modified to substitute traditional mikveh immersion with the pouring of nine kabim (3-6 gallons) of water - a historically validated purification method for circumstances where standard immersion proved impossible or dangerous. This alternative was implemented with full rabbinical supervision and beit din (rabbinical court) oversight. The case demonstrates that halakhic flexibility can meaningfully accommodate disabled individuals while preserving religious integrity, emphasizing that conversion's essence lies in spiritual transformation and acceptance of Jewish obligations rather than strict mechanical adherence when circumstances prevent safe ritual participation. The successful adaptation within Conservative Judaism's interpretive framework establishes important precedent for future converts facing similar physical barriers, showing how ancient law can evolve to serve contemporary needs while maintaining halakhic legitimacy.
