| May 23, 2011 at 6:53 | comment | added | msh210♦ | @jake, the answer AFAICT is saying the convert does not gain the kohen or levi status of his adoptive family. That's what I sought a source for (though, again, I don't doubt it). | |
| May 23, 2011 at 6:47 | comment | added | jake | @msh210, This doesn't really need a source. A gentile cannot convert if he is a halachic minor. (Unless, theoretically, he converts with a parent; but if the question is one of adoption, it's not really relevant.) Once he reaches halachic majority, then there is anyway no reason why he should be connected to the family that he lived with as a child. | |
