Dear Israel Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi David Lau:
We, the following San Diego, California, Rabbis are outraged that we were left off of your blacklist of rabbis whose testimony as to the Jewish identity of their congregants are unacceptable to Israel’s Chief Rabbinate.
In the future please include our names among the other blacklisted rabbis.
We would consider it an honor.

Rabbi Michael Berk
Rabbi Joshua Dorsch (Conservative)
Rabbi Wayne Dosick (Conservative)
Rabbi Susan Freeman (Reform)
Rabi Arnold Kopikis (Conservative)
Rabbi David Kornberg (Conservative)
Rabbi Martin Lawson (Reform)
Rabbi Devorah Marcus (Reform)
Rabbi Alexis Pearce (Reconstructionist)
Rabbi Leonard Rosenthal (Conservative)
Rabbi Michael Samuel (Conservative)
