IMHO- Because nobody really wants to go there.
I think that in order to seriously address this increasing rate of OTD’s, we’d have to make some fundamental changes to our existing chinuch system. In other words: Change the way yiddishkeit is “sold” in our schools.
Ever wonder how come Kiruv is so successful these days? Ever think about what might happen if yiddishkeit is presented to the FFB’s similar to how it’s taught in Kiruv Seminaries/yeshivos?
They teach you the why’s not just the how’s about yiddishkeit. They teach you the ABC’s of hashkafa; instead of expecting you to magically know it at birth. They focus on developing a meaningful, PERSONAL connection with Hashem and His Mitzvos. They encourage you to ask and understand and wonder.
And nobody wants to go there.
Any thoughts?
