There are two questions here. 1. Is it right to mislead people about Judaism to do kiruv? The answer I think would be no. But those doing kiruv probably think they are pitching the whole true story of what being frum is about. 2. If you know someone isn’t going to listen you shouldn’t tell them. At the same time 80-90% of Jews in America aren’t frum. So you can’t just abandon all those people. There are kids going to college who never saw teffilin! Sticking your head in the sand isn’t a solution. I can’t just not learn halacha and claim i didn’t keep it bc I didn’t know it.
