If I recall (It ha are s been a very long discussion), wasn’t it mentioned that trying to “get to him” through religious means is futile? He will immediately associate them with an attack. 90% of guys that are disinterested in Judaism,are simply disinterested because they are adolescents. They are at a point when rules are almost oxymoronic to what they are trying to accomplish i.e a sense of their space, a community, a sense of who they ARE…all of which are journeys within which rules have no place. At this point wanting your son to be happy is the ONLY important thing; and ironically not “caring” about the religious elements will allow him ( in the long run) to ease back into it
