A U.S. Jewish group promoting a type of gay conversion therapy has moved its work to Israel.
 
The group, also known as "Jonah," was ordered to shut down in December by a New Jersey court, but Israeli health practitioners say their service is in high demand.

Israel's health ministry advises against reparative therapy, but no law limits it.
