attempts have thus far failed. Despite this the MBD have called for all Jews to approach them and have strongly discouraged people from going to the secular courts. They are also attempting to create a register of who is a Jew for the purposes of marriage within the Orthodox community. Alternative courts There are a number of religious courts that claim jurisdiction in Victoria besides the MBD. The Progressive movement and Conservative movement each maintain a Beth Din, as does the Haredi Adass Yisrael community. In addition to these there are a number of ad hoc Orthodox conversion courts.
