Question
I saw your answer to a user about conversion at birth of her kids. I know several people who have had their kids converted, either shortly after birth or as toddlers, when the mother did not convert. The rabbis permitted this, because both parents wanted it. Why would your answer be different than these rabbis?

I am an artist. One thing that is good for an artist in a primarily Christian country is making artwork for a tarot deck. I'm wondering if this is prohibited by Judaism, as I'm Jewish.

Question
Below is the translation (from Hebrew) of my great grandfather's headstone. The translator believes that my grandfather David was a Rabbi. I have records that indicate that he was at one point president of his congregation, but can find no evidence of him serving as a rabbi. I am wondering if this is a misinterpretation, and perhaps the title rabbi was applied more as an honorific, either to just David himself, or both David and his father Zvi. Thanks very much for any assistance!
