kids at risk rabbi, you’re a real Rabbi with the right hashkafas that can deal with at risk kids.
I can bet that you love these kids, and these kids know it as well, as much as those who respect OTD’s choices in life.
A lot of scarred kids want to do the right thing, they’re just confused. And when someone like you, who is not playing to the tune of fuzzy wuzzy, all is good, it’s your choice, the main thing is that you’re comfortable, kind of fake song, helps them it’s gevaldig.
I really believe that those teens who want to do the right thing eventually sort out their issues, but those teens who are not interested in a frum life, mehn ken zich shtellen oif di kop, you can work your kishkes out, they won’t change.
Of course, there’s still the bechira that OTD’s have anytime in their life they want to change, but that’s irrespective of whether someone was there to respect their choice in life when they sinned. And while I keep on saying that we need to show love for OTD kids (just as we should act towards EVERY jew), and act in a respectful manner to them, we as believing Jews absolutely cannot condone a life of sin.
