Reply To: Chabad? Most non religious Jews are not halachikly Jewish.

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 assumed.
But of course, cities vary, but I really doubt it in this case.
I don’t know why everyone has to be affiliated with something. I’d make the generality that a lot of people out there have never been in a synagogue, and if they even have, it was once a year tops.
