First and foremost: I AM STILL A TEEN. I may not know exactly how to deal with every situation. I’ll try answering ur question to the best of my ability. In the “alteh heim” Yiddishkeit was taught in a very simple temimusdike fashion. And it worked. There were barely a couple of OTDers. Until Reform Judaism came about. They adapted Darwin’s theory of Evolution. This was a new revelation and unfortunately, many of the youth went off. Nowadays, the world is horrible and dirty, but Darwin’s theory is easily refuted, because of new evidence. The world today really is a very miserable place. The smart OTDers usually come back. They SEE there’s nothing there! NOW, those who don’t even have a great interest in searching for answers – they are fine by being told the dry facts – Good for them!! Ashreichem! Why rock the boat? Why confuse them? To the mainstream I’d instill yiras Shomayim and Ahavas Hashem – as I said before. But the complicated question I think should rather be discussed in private.
