All very holy answers, but I think the honest truth is because I was born into such a family. I shudder to think what would have happened had I not been- would I have had the opportunity and courage to recognize the truth and change? I’m in awe of BTs how they can leave so much behind and take on a new life. And I wonder what was my zechus that I did not have to face that challenge. Just thinking about those odds- frum Jews are just a small percentage of total Jewry, yet Hashem decided to send my Neshama down to my family, from all the Jewish families out there, so that I could be raised frum and appreciate Torah.
