“How do the deal with the fact that most non religious Jews in the US are actually non Jews because their mother was a non Jew.”
Yeah, if you’re in certain suburbs of the sunbelt maybe, which is the first time I’ve ever heard of such a thing. But not where I come from.
Of course, due to flight to the suburbs, etc. my experience isn’t even the norm anymore either.
But lets ignore the vague generality for a moment. How many of these teens grew up “Reform” or “Conservative” going to these Chabad events, especially as a teen, versus those who are nothing more than just Jewish? Maybe it varies from city to city, but it seems to me that these two denominations aren’t always the most accepting of Chabad as a whole.
So, given that most of the kids probably don’t pay dues anywhere, and they get the linage grilling just like everyone else, the chances of your fears might actually be far LESS than the original post.
But of course, cities vary, but I really doubt it in this case.
