We have parents who have disowned the kids for moving to a new community even though they retain the levush and minhagim. But, we are seeing the most difficult cases. For the people who make changes and have familial support, they wouldn’t come to us necessarily. I think we are making progress – more parents are being more accepting. But we are not there yet. There are still plenty of Jews who are coming to us to make a real, sincere connection to HKB”K but because they are making any change from how they were raised is enough for the family to cut them off.
