Reply To: How To Do Kiruv Nowadays When Half of Non-Orthodox “Jews” Aren’t Jewish?

To all the negative comments suggesting that kiruv isn’t worthwhile anymore: Kiruv is hatzalas nefashos mamash. It’s not a numbers game. If a building collapsed with hundreds of people inside c”v, would we say it’s not worth trying to rescue them because most of them are probably dead already? If course not! We would say that if even one of them can be saved, it’s worth the effort. So too, if even Jewish neshama can be saved, then it’s worth the effort. And there are lots of ways of figuring out if a person is really Jewish Al pi halacha. People whe engage in kiruv regularly have methods that I’m sure they can describe if you’re interested in talking to them.
